Using google to search for IPersistFile that appears in the error message says it is probably your antivirus software interfering with the installation and you may need to turn off antivirus while it installs.  It is not a ChimeraX issue.  Good luck.

Hi Tom,
Please see below the email trail. I had my IT specialist try to install ChimeraX again, and the same thing happened: it ran through the install process (watched the progress bar), and at the very end, the error message attached in screen cap format appeared.

I had already had this software program approved to install from our IT head, so, I'm not sure what to do at this point.

Thanks very much-Alice Kitterman

Is there an error message when ChimeraX it fails to install?  What step is the installer dialog showing before it fails?

Hello, 
I'm on a Dell XPS 9500 laptop running Windows v. 10.0.2.1000. When my IT specialist tried to install it, it would run the install program but at the very end the install would fail. We were able to install the old non-X version of Chimera. Is there something we should/can do to check, settings-wise?

Cheers-Alice Kitterman
