Not sure what you're are even talking about...

Are you saying the installation is creating another document folder under the "ALL USER" section?

YES ask to create a new folder DOCUMENTS

@arshadmirza786

In all the years I've done installation or assisted on them.. I've never seen this and I would speculate you don't have the proper permissions on your machine to install. @mdavis22569 have you ever seen this before, where the installation prompts to create a document folder under the all users folder location?

Permissions ...maybe

How is this being installed ... deployment / individually ..

What you see in the windows explorer view is not always what the real folder structure is on your pc.

Just another example to explain: If you have a german Windows 10 you see in the windows explorer a folder "Programme". That does not exists it is only a "localized name" in the "explorer view".

And it is the same with your "PublicDocuments". See my screenshot and try the same on your pc:
