This error screen occurs during a clean install of the CD version on Windows 10. I have granted full permission to the folder on the C drive and have tried running XWAU2020.EXE as administrator. I have also tried to install in multiple locations, different folders and drives. Same error in every location. System.UnauthorizedAccessException
Any help resolving this issue would be appreciated.

XWA CD Version: If you are still using the old CDs for XWA it is getting harder to support that system.
We do recommend you upgrade to a digital version such as sold by GoG.com etc. They can be very cheap in sales.

Sound Issues: If you find you are missing some mission sounds then you need to copy the WAVE folder from both CDs to the XWA main folder.
If asked to replace any files then select not to do that. The sounds will then run from your PC.
Have you done the above? Copied your Wave folders from both CDs to the XWA folder.
Also I believe installing it in C is not brilliant always.
Try C:\Games\XWA etc
Chief XWAU Team annoying nitpicker.

Complete removal and reinstall from CDs resolved the issue.
