Try right-click the installer file, and choose "run as admin"...

And also try restart the computer, in case there is a frozen process or something using virtualdj.exe so you can not write to the file.

Although the error might have other potential causes, such as anti-virus software being too aggressive etc.
 
I have the same problem, and there is no run as administrator option on right click....and yes i'm on the administrator account on windows 10.
 
Yes, There is no Admin.
I have reboot of course but same error.

i don t know if We should uninstall VDJ, then install the 2021.

i run windows 10. (and the installing files works on another computer running on Win10)
 
In Windows security, maybe you activated the malware protection. Sometimes it can wrongly block files writing.
 
I am receiving the same error on a new install on a new Windows 10 Home PC. I am the only account on the computer and it does not have run as admin it states grant admin full control which did nothing I have shut off Anti-virus and checked windows security for malicious software settings and still the same.
 
I have same issue with Windows 11 pro.
 
I have same issue with Windows 11 pro.

Other machine with Windows 10 Home work fine.
 
My Windows is not on S-mode.
 
I don't know what really happened, but when I turned on Onedrive, then VirtualDJ installed.
 
I solved the issue! For context, I recently got a new computer and connected my account to it. Meaning that OneDrive had the old vdj instillation in the cloud. So I couldn't open the program but still had the files on it. I simply had to delete the virtual DJ folder (which I couldn't find using the search tool) and then I could redownload the installer properly. Hope this helps!
