These 2502 and 2503 errors are because a program needs to install using the temp folders and they do not have permission to do so. (EASYSOLVED)

These 2502 and 2503 errors are because a program needs to install using the temp folders and they do not have permission to do so. I have been doing IT for 35+ years and my son wanted to install Minecraft the Java Edition and didn't want the Windows 10 version. After all, he paid for it.

These next steps give permissions to the temp folder to fix not having those errors. "Game Over" computer! Hi Score, me, cyanohydrax.
