Im thinking its one of few reasons: - You didnt choose the right settings during installation - Your OS is not recent enough - You computer doesnt have the resources to run it - Your AV is deleting some needed files Sorry for not answering your question but i cant provide a solution when im not entirely sure what the cause is.
