Description
When I install the Windows alpha downloaded on Win 10 (10.0.14393) today I get the following error message during install (after adding my work PC as a device):
.
Seems error handling when accessing local appdata folder could be more graceful.
Then when I trying to login / connect to the same device I get the "Type in text code" dialog. As this is my first device I then choose "go back" and get the error message "kex canceled by caller".
(This may not be an issue if/when installing as administrator). I downloaded using Chrome and started install from the reader..

Research direction
Reproduce the installation and device-connection flow on Windows 10 using the reported alpha build, starting with the local AppData access and the first-device login path. Done means installation handles the AppData failure gracefully and backing out of the text-code dialog no longer produces “kex canceled by caller”.
