The CHIRP Folder was somehow flagged as read only, on File Explorer highlight the CHIRP folder and go to properties, if the Read Only indicator is checked, un-check it, apply, then I did a shutdown/restart. then downloaded the current CHIRP, install worked perfect.

Dave,
Give this a try...
1 Use Control Panel to uninstall CHIRP
2 Reboot computer
3 Right-click installer file and choose "Run as administrator" to install CHIRP

The problem turned out to be that the CHIRP folder somehow was flagged as a read only folder. Changed the property to remove the read only flag and the installation works perfect..
Thanks.
