please try to run the .exe file as an administrator.

Express install does the installation into the default directories.

Custom install suggests the default directories but you can tell it to use different ones.

Young Hahn

if you look at my post.. there is no option that lets me pick the different path.. Custom Install is actually doing the same setting as the Express Install

I get to edit them, I'm not sure what you're doing differently.

Peter Hancox

I can't edit them either. Perhaps only an issue with 5.8.4-x64 on Linux?

Peter Hancox

Looks like he's installing on Linux not Windows.

I've also got a support case open. Oddly, I'm able to run the same installer on another one of my VM's that's configured similarly, and custom install works. I've not yet figured out what's different between the 2 servers/env's yet, since they should be the same.

I got the same problem ...
