I am trying to install Oracle XE 18c on Windows 10. I am not an Administrator however I run setup.exe as Administrator.
I received the error messages shown in the logs below. I've spent quite a bit of time with Google trying to fix this and have found these issues which appear to be similar but don't provide answers that work in my case.

I have also made the correction suggested here:

Thanks in advance for the assist.
