I’ve tried running the installer as as administrator, but it makes no difference.

Any help would be really appreciated

Hi ,I had a similar issue I followed Sashko’s advice Installation on windows
I did have issues though and ended up running a system variable to .meteor directly from the unzipped package. Then I ran meteor update from the command line
