Hello Cliff,
the problem is not the anti-virus program, but it looks as if
FLDIGI doesn't accept non-English letters: after changing the
language and having a user named Juergen instead of J¨¹rgen the
program started and I could start to configure it. The way I
became aware of this as possible problem was the strange character
in the user name shown by the fatal error notice.
It would be nice if such a behaviour could be modified in one of
the next updates. There are many possible users which have a
similar issue with their user name on Windows as I have.

Juergen,
I don¡¯t run Windows so am guessing here, but if you
have an anti-virus program running, close it while you do the
install. Maybe Windows required some permission to have the
install write to that directory?
If you want a complete uninstall then you need to
remove or rename the fldigi.files directory if it exists.
C:\Users\loginname\fldigi.files

I wanted to install FLDIGI latest version on
my Windows 10 notebook today (latest Windows update) to
give it a try on a Windows device (I am using it already
on a Raspi 4). None of the last versions of FLDIGI from
Dave's website could be set up for running (install after
a complete deinstall of FLDIGI each time).
The program was installed but stopped with Fatal Error
"user .... fldigi.files .." could not be installed. A
manual creation of the folder fldigi.files did not bring
any success either.?
Any idea what Windows has caused here? A friend of mine
has the same problem that he is unable to use FLDIGI on
his W10 notebook any longer.
