Re-installing WinSCP does not break anything.

Can you reproduce the problem?

When you run the installer, do you get a "User Account Control" popup?

Setup can't create "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP"

Win 8.x platform:
WinSCP 5.7.4 became unstable - frequent re-connections required.
Decided to upgrade to v. 5.7.5.
First attempt failed with the following ==>

---------------------------

Setup - WinSCP

---------------------------

Setup was unable to create the directory "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP".

Error 5: Access is denied.

---------------------------

OK   

---------------------------

Deleted the 5.7.4. with the control panel, hoping for a clean install ==> the same results.

What is the solution?

Thanks!
