This errors is usually do to redirected folders similar to roaming but only some user folders are on the server. This is not supported but these errors mainly point to a problem with the shell folders in the registery not having rights “HKEY/CURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Explorer\UserShell Folders”,
or
This happens on file that is within a domain.
From what we've seen so far this only happens with users that log in from a domain.
This solution is simple go to the following registry location in regedit:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/
UserShellFolders
Here you should change the personal registry key: from\\<domain>\profiles$\<username> to%USERPROFILE%\<username>.
Then try to reinstall the program.
Another option is to create a new Admin User on your computer and install it that way.
Below shows how to create a user account.
Open Microsoft Management Console by clicking the Start button , typing mmc into the Search box, and then pressing ENTER. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
In the left pane of Microsoft Management Console, click Local Users and Groups.
If you don't see Local Users and Groups, it's probably because that snap-in has not been added to Microsoft Management Console. Follow these steps to install it:
1. In Microsoft Management Console, click the File menu, and then click Add/Remove Snap-in.
2. Click Local Users and Groups, and then click Add.
3. Click Local computer, and then click Finish.
4. Click OK.
•Click the Users folder.
•Click Action, and then click New User.
•Type the appropriate information in the dialog box, and then click Create.
•When you are finished creating user accounts, click Close.
I highly recommend "Long Path Tool" useful in situations where you see these error
messages: Cannot read from source file or disk, there has been a sharing violation, cannot delete file or folder, the file name you specified is not valid or too long, the source or destination file may be in use and many other file managing errors that you encounter in your computing use.

Hello,
I had the same problem with the ArcGIS program and so I went back and looked at the Google forums in order to help someone :)
I spent two days trying various ways to solve, including editing the registry values.
I had uninstalled the program, but I think they were files that were not deleted.
I solved my problem with the program "Revo Uninstaller" (Free) by following these steps:
In the list of programs available for uninstallation, ArcMap (ArcGIS) was not showing up, but clicking the "Forced Uninstall" icon appears a field to enter the name. I typed "Arc" and the program has appeared on the list. I selected "Advanced" and "Next". I selected all and deleted. I clicked "Next" and finished.
After that, I managed to reinstall the program without any problem.
I hope this helps.
