Version 526 won't install at all

Every time I try to install version 526 on my windows 10 64bit computer it stalls halfway through installation and shows a message "Error opening files for writing", and I have to abort the installation. I don't rename or in any way alter, amend or tamper with the files.

It's never happened before in any previous version.

Is ccleaner running while you try to update?

I added this link to the solution post since it may be the cause the install is failing:
