WARNING 1909. Could not create shortcut < filename > .lnk. Check that the destination folder exists and that you can access.

When I try to install some programs, I get the following message:

WARNING 1909. Could not create shortcut .lnk. Check that the destination folder exists and that you can access.

How this issue is resolved?

I had this same problem trying to update iTunes. I found a solution here:

"When the installation fails and you get the error 1909, stop." DO NOT CLOSE the installation or click a button. Simply open another window, navigate to the data directory of program (C:\Program Data\whatever-the-name-of-the-directory-is C:\Program Apple for installation of iTunes), do a right click and select Properties, clear the read-only attributes at the bottom of the box and apply. Then go back to the installation failed and click Retry. »
