If you're positive it's not infected, turn off "Real Time Protection" to install."
Done that, Still doesn't install.
Bizarrely when I hit the uTorrent install box I get a msg 'G5X. The device has either stopped responding or been disconnected' (G5X is my camera which is NOT connected) and, to add insult to injury, the defended symbol sits
smugly inside the install box.
"What legacy version are you trying to install".
V1.8.4. It worked fine under Vista which is why I wanted to keep it
"I installed uTorrent 2.2.1 without any problems (nor any exclusions)".
I'll find V2.2.1 and try that
"Have you considered using something like sordum.org's small, free, portable Defender Control to temporarily disable Defender?"
No. It should not be necessary to use a 3rd party app to install a non W10 app.
I'll resort to sordum if all fails.
"Do you actually mean 'directoty1' or is it a typo?"
It's a typo. Directory1 and directory2 are just placeholders for the actual directory path.

Apologies . This is off topic but I must rant about W10 Pro. IT IS MONETIZED GARBAGE.
I migrated from Vista 3 months ago and the experience has been AWFUL.
The CD would not install over Vista, I had to buy a new clean boot HD.
The install changed the drive letters of the other 3 HDs.
In sleep mode W10 phones home to install more M$ garbage I don't want AND when it did it crashed my system
necessitating a OS reinstall. Setting 'connections' to 'metered' doesn't seem to stop it updating.
I disconnect the ethernet cable when in 'sleep'. From 'shutdown' the PC takes an age to boot.
And 1 time out of 3 when W10 it comes out of sleep it disconnects my keyboard requiring me to momentarily
disconnect its USB
W10 contains so much bloatware my 4 core 2.8 Ghz Phenom II runs like a 8 bit uP so I'm looking at a new MoBo/i7.
The W10 inbuilt mail client 'Mail' has deliberate bugs to dissuade its use and to push you to buy 365.
I defy anyone to find where 'Mail' stores emails AND it doesn't use the indutry standard .eml format
so you can't back up new emails with a simple script looking at the file attributes.
I had a fight with W10 to stop it opening pdfs with Edge, jeez Adobe must be p!ssed
Industry/Govnments/somebody sane need to write a new operating system, maybe fork Linux, & create a universal OS
which does NOT demand an expensive upgrade every 2 years, doesn't need a PhD in OSs to master it,
doesn't lock everything down so tight you're forced to use the native apps, isn't bug ridden, doesn't need a 32 core processor to do simple tasks in a week, isn't vulnerable to malware , doesn't need a bunch of IT managers to keep it
running, doesn't necessitate taking a holiday while it updates . . . .
Think of the saving
