When installing an tool in Windows, you might get Error 1324 The Folder Path Contains an Invalid Character.

This is usually resulting from an invalid character in the User Profile.

This fix seems to do the trick for most.

Windows Settings Header

For example, if the 1324 fault signal refers to system32/, you should search for system32/.

I have seen this cause issues with software installations.

Ensure the Home drive is not set to a hidden drive, and the software should install just fine.
