Hi Howelljo,
There's a couple of additional steps we should explore:
1. In case you have malware on your system which is being detected
as a debugger, run a complete AntiVirus and AntiSpyware scan;
2. In case your Profile is corrupt, create a new account on your system
with administrator privileges, and try installing PoC using that account.

| Hi Jimmy
