Hi,

It may be because of installing older version of VLC on your system instead of latest version. May be that will be the reason of causing problem in installation. Try to download a latest version Of VLC and install it. If it does not work then Sometimes it cause problem during installation because of VLC running under the process. Follow these steps.

1. Log in to your windows as a Administrator.

2. open task manager and you will see over there an option on the tab by the name of " Processes ."

3. Scroll down and see if there is VLC.exe. Select VLC.exe and click on end process.

4. In control panel go to Add / Remove program and uninstall VLC.

5. Download fresh copy of VLC and now install it.
