It seems like the launcher cannot create the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\CDDA Game Launcher\Cata Dark Days Ahead\previous_version. Maybe it does not have the permission to do so. I suggest you put your game somewhere else like on your desktop where limited permission is often accepted.

Do not use folders you don't have permissions to write to (e.g. "Program Files" folder) for CDDA installation. Select a different folder.
