The system error is "Permission Denied". Is the installer running under an Administrator account?

The 32-bit installer cannot be used on 64-bit Windows. For 64-bit Windows there are two installers. The full 64-bit installer that installs the AFS cache manger and related tools and the 32-bit tools installer that is meant for use with 32-bit applications that link to OpenAFS libraries (for example, 32-bit KFW).
