It looks like you may have installed Studio / the player at some point as an administrator. If you uninstall them both and then install them again normally, without running the installer as an admin, then it should be resolved. Make sure these are getting installed to AppData/Local/Roblox and not Program Files.
Why does the installer let you do this in the first place? It’s also strange that it just on the fly decides to install somewhere completely different on this difference. Surely there’s a way to prevent this, or at least stop install and tell the user to do it properly.
Mostly for installation in schools and other partners with nuanced setup requirements. There is a desire to make this more explicit, but it’s just not been a big priority due to how infrequently issues arise.
Firstly, I am the administrator and, in principle, the only user.
Secondly - as far as I remember, the installer does not ask me what and where to install, but simply installs what it wants and where it wants.
The yellow/blue icon on the executable in that screenshot implies that Windows is elevating the installer to be run as an administrator through UAC, which would cause problems since Roblox is installed under the local user. Do you get a UAC prompt when clicking RobloxStudioLauncherBeta?
