Solution

First, check that there isn't an issue with the application installation package itself. If it, e.g., installs fine in another system, it's likely the installation package is valid.

The "Access is denied" error indicates that something is blocking the writing of temporary folders to the applications installation folder. The culprit has often been antivirus software if the server-side antivirus exclusions haven't been made according to our instructions. Make sure to follow the instructions.

This could also be due to insufficient Windows rights or some other interfering process. Process Monitor log may help determine what exactly is interfering with installation. If you cannot otherwise find a solution, you may contact M-Files Support.
