@gregJe - I'm happy to hear this was resolved after disabling McAfee.
If you have troubles in the future with 1Password installations or updates, you can exclude the entire 1Password folder and the
1Password.exe
in McAfee, then reboot your device. The 1Password directory can be found here -%localappdata%\1Password
and the1Password.exe
is here:%localappdata%\1Password\App\8
.Thanks for your reply!

I had this issue as well. I disabled everything in McAfee Endpoint security and re-ran the install. It worked.
