Hello @Erkology,

Thanks for providing those logs. That error message may indicate that an Antivirus software may be “locking down” the installation directly of 1Password.

As you mentioned you already use "Trellix" Anti Virus, I'd like to run a quick test and ask you to reboot your device in Safe Mode with Networking. This can help us verify whether other programs are interfering with 1Password. Here's the official Microsoft Support article:

Safe Mode with Networking
Start your PC in safe mode in Windows

Once you have rebooted into Safe Mode with Networking, try running the installer again. Does it work this time?

If so, we'll have confirmed the general nature of the problem. From there, my suggestion would be to add 1Password's directory to the allow list of any anti-malware or endpoint security software on the device.

Let me know how that works out for you. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Jermaine
