Description: Installation Failed due to Permissions
Details:

I tried installing but I get

Failed to set permission on the installed files.
Please see the logfile in 'C:/<install_path>\8.2\tmp\pgpem.log'.

I am installing using my own admin account with full rights. Can you please
help me to fix this?

did you check what's in the logfile?
Also, check the permissinoso n the install path and all the way down -
full permissions for *your* account is required to set the permissions
(the service account only needs read on things except the data
directory)
