I have not even seen Win8, but try to right click on "AkelPad-4.8.5-x64-setup.exe" and choose "Run as administrator".

Is there any non-latin characters in your Windows user name?

Can you try
test version of setup? What messages you have (you can press Ctrl+C when message is shown to copy text of the message to clipboard)?

Next test:
Open command prompt (cmd.exe). Run commands manually:
Code: Select all
takeown.exe /F C:\WINDOWS\notepad.exe
Code: Select all
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c echo y|cacls.exe C:\WINDOWS\notepad.exe /G "Charles":F
What console output will be (to copy text from console to clipboard: press right button, choose "Select all" and press right button again)?

I run those as administrator.
First output :
Opération réussie : le fichier (ou dossier) : "C:\WINDOWS\notepad.exe" appartient désormais à l’utilisateur "PC-CHARLES\Charles".
Translation : Operation successfulled : the file "C:/xxxx" is owned by the user "PC-xxx" (it's me)
Second output :
C:\WINDOWS\system32>C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c echo o|cacls.exe C:\WINDOWS\n
otepad.exe /G "Charles":F
Êtes-vous sûr (O/N) ?fichier traité : C:\WINDOWS\notepad.exe
file handled : C:\....xxx
Thank you

I tried to install again Akelpad after having put your command and there are no longer error during install but at the end notepad is openning with a msgbox "Le chemin d'accès est introuvable" (the pathfile is unknown)

Now I see whats happening. Command:
Code: Select all
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c echo y|cacls.exe C:\WINDOWS\notepad.exe /G "Charles":F
not working for you, because you have prompt "(O/N)", but command send "echo y". You changed command to "echo o" and it start to work. I updated
installer to use icacls.exe, if possible. Can you try to install it? If any error happens post a screenshot.

Exactly ! (Oui = Yes)
I try it right now
EDIT :
So, the install performed without any warning or error, however it runs automatically notepad showing "The specified pathfile is unknown"
You can see the screenshot :

I think your installer still uses cacls and not icacls

This version will show what exe is used - cacls or icacls.
