It's not clear to me exactly what you've done. You don't need to create any folders, or move anything. Just run the setup file as you would any other, and then accept the default location when the installer offers it to you. The installer will then create the folder.

If you still get the error, then you probably have a permissions problem; try right-clicking on the setup file and "Run as administrator".
