In case you're trying to update an existing Reaper install to a newer version: either make sure that Reaper isn't running in the background while running the installer. Or try if rebooting your computer before running the installer makes any difference.
Another possible reason might be that you don't have permission to write in the given install path. In this case - assuming you're on Windows - you can try to run the installer as admin (via Right-Click > Run as administrator).
Another option to try is to make a portable Reaper install to a different location to see if this works:
