Trying to install Discord.

I am trying to install Discord on my Win10 computer. I keep getting an error:

"Unable to write to c:program dataxxxx" - IT policies may be restricting access to this folder"

and the installation fails. I've googled the error and tried the various fixes suggested and nothing works. I don't know enough about "IT policies" to try and change it myself without some hand holding. Anybody have an idea if what I need to do and how to do it to get Discord running?

Thanks.
