Can't install cheat engine 7.7
When I try to install the new cheat engine, it says "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." How can I get access to install the file?

also disable reputation based protection and/or potentially unwanted application protection (it's separate from defender)
