Metasploit-framework: FIX: Can't Install: Setup Wizard ended Prematurely

[joselbr2099]

I get that error when I try to install metasploit(5.0.61) for windows (windows 10 home 10.0.18362.476) in fresh installation
To correct the error I did the following:
1.- open shell in administrator mode in the folder where the installer is located
2.- install metasploit with the arguments:

> metasploitframework-latest.msi /L*v msf.log

3.- select another installation folder different from the default installation drive c: and continue with the installation

NOTE: Even if you select another installation folder, metasplot will be installed in the path C: \ metasplot-framework but without any error

Great solution to this problem. I have seen more people with that exact same issue.

Try with following command,

.\metasploitframework-latest.msi /L*v msf.log

Thanks for the insight! Running with .\metasploitframework-latest.msi /L*v msf.log do print some log for me. However, select another installation folder cannot simply let the installation proceed.

The workaround that finally works for me:

1. create an empty file called metasploit-framework.zip at a random folder.
2. move that file to the C:\ drive root. (because the Explorer context menu do not let me create file here directly)
3. Grant all permissions (read, write, full control) to Users group of this file.
4. run metasploitframework-latest.msi as usual(double click), proceed with all default options.
