It INSTALLS on the desktop or it places a Shortcut on the Desktop?

Pro Tools 10 should automatically choose or create the correct folder during install, that is:

C:>Program Files (x86)>Avid>Pro Tools

Keep in mind there are also files installed all across the system, not just in that one folder.

Just use the default setting unless you have done something to your system to change that.

What exact version of PT10 are you trying to install? You should be installing 10.3.6 or 10.3.7

10.3.7 is the latest as of now.


Try installing by RIGHT CLICKING the Setup and choose Run As Admin.


You can see me installing 10.3.6 (and 11) on Win8 here-
