Question / Help Can't install OBS - "Error opening file for writing"

I'm sorry if this isn't the place to post this (I'm new, bare with me), but I didn't know where else to ask.

I try to install (not update) the OBS software but it keeps coming up with an error message and will not let me continue.

Error opening file for writing:

C:Program Files
(x86)\obs-studio\data\obs-plugins\obs-ffmpeg\ffmpeg-mux64.exe

Click Retry to try again, or
Cancel to stop the installation

I've tried to delete the folders which housed the software previously but it tells me I need permission to do so (which I am the owner of this hardware and clicking accept as admin doesn't do anything). I'm literally at a loss of what to do which is why I'm here.

Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
