Run executable as administrator on Windows 10 patch 1809. Error message appears stating that application cannot be installed on Win9x computer. Installer then closes.

@ablankley what exact installer are you using?

I have tried using the installer from the KiCad website. I have tried using both x86 and x64 from CERN and Github. The messages are the same as the strings defined in the NSIS install script, so I assume those installers are generated from this one.

@ablankley Could you please state your win10 build number? Open the cmd.exe and it should show as the first line in the prompt, or run something like:

systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS Version"

I have Version 10.0.17763.805 and the check is not an issue.
