My problem is somehow similar to https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/issues/7808. Running in repair mode did not help.
You're installing in the root of the C: drive. Try to select a location inside your user dir or another drive where your user has write permissions.
I tried to install inside C:/InvokeAI/. Until now always successful.

Tried in repair mode.
I went now through https://invoke-ai.github.io/InvokeAI/installation/manual/#walkthrough and "For Windows: Open PowerShell with administrative privileges.
Run this command to download and execute the installation script:
powershell irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex After Installation: Restart your terminal to ensure uv is accessible.
Verify the installation by running:
bash uv --version Let me know if you need help with any specific step!
" (thank you, Microsoft Copilot) successfully.
After setting and activating environment I was able to continue with the .exe installer.
