Also check the current location of the INstaller file you downloaded.

A Message like "Could not create folder" sounds like a write protection..... So it sounds you try to install in a secured folder.

Stephans hint should work.... But i recommend to also move the install file into a "good" folder like d:/mobiflight instead of something like /downlaods or /programmfilesx86

Good Luck !
