Description

Hello, I tried installing both in a Windows administrator account and in a standard user account, and I received the same error message either way. I've attached the log with the details. It would be great if you can solve this installation bug. Also, have you considered switching to UWP in Windows 10? Microsoft recommends that all NEW apps be developed using UWP, not the older API's.

Research direction

Start by examining the attached Keybase_20170920143717.log for the installation failure details, then investigate why installation behaves the same for Windows administrator and standard-user accounts. Done means the installation bug is reproducibly resolved for the reported Windows account types and the relevant installation checks pass.
