Help...Adobe DNG Negative Installation

Hi:

I have a Sony A6000 which I have shot for first time in ARW files. I have a LR 3.6, old version but it does what I want. I guess you can't import ARW files into LR 3.6.

So I DL the Adobe DNG Negative Converter to convert the ARW to DNG. Well I DL both the 13.2 as well as 17.1 Win64 version and I am getting the folloiwng "read only" message during installation.

 

Help, i don't trust other online photo converter and was hoping to use this Adobe converter.  Any advise on why this install is giving me read only error message and when I click remove read only attribute it doesn't work. I can't install this converter. 

Thanks

I have never experienced this when installing the DNG converter.

Have you tried choosing Keep existing file? The file in question is a camera profile, and these profiles will not affect the conversion to DNG.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
