I've download version 7x of rte. I encounter the following error:

"Could not move C:\Program Files\Curl Corporation\Surge\8-new to C:\Program Files\Curl Corporation\Surge\8. Click OK to retry or click Cancel to abort".

What's the problem here?
I've used Windows 7 and version is .msi file
(I installed version 5x and 6x successfully, they were .exe file)

Thanks!
