> Strange. I just ran the installer again and now it works.

The installer checks the Windows registry to locate LaTeX program. If you have 
MiKTeX or TeXLive  installed but the installer cannot find it, your virus 
scanner blocks that the installer have read access to the registry. This should 
not happen but virus scanners ate often over eager. Blocking read permission 
makes no sense in my opinion.

In general I cannot recommend using virus scanners because the make make 
problems than they solve. I am not using such scanners for years now and I am 
virus-free nevertheless. The best way to stay safe us to use consequently only 
non-admin accounts. If you need to install things that should be available for 
all users of the PC, allow elevated rights only for the installer. Thus way 
virus programs cannot modify e.g. the registry. Only if there are bugs in 
Windows itself, this method can be unsafe but in this case also virus scanners 
don't help. 

Just my opinion. 

Many thanks fir testing and best regards
