Question

I have downloaded the latest android studio android-studio-bundle-135.1740770-windows from the official site. But when I install the downloaded application

Answer 1

Check Compatibility mode Run as Windows XP (Service Pack3)

Also check Run this program as an administrator

It works for me. If you are running Windows 10 64bit.

Answer 2

I followed these steps and the problem was gone:

• Disable UAC
• Reboot
• Installation (as Administrator)
• Enable UAC
• Reboot

There’s a quick way you can enable or disable this annoying window from the command line:

Disable UAC:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k %windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

Enable UAC:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k %windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

After you enable or disable UAC, you will have to reboot your computer for the changes to take effect.

Answer 6

These are the steps I took:

• Clear temp folder ( Go to Run type "%temp%" and delete all files. It may skip a few files that's OK!)
• Right click your android-studio-bundle-135.1740770-windows.exe and go to properties and click unblock buttons if it's available.
• Make sure Firewall was Disabled and your antivirus software.
• Finally just intall

It works 99% and you don't need to install any other software to support it.
