The issue is generally seen if the setup/installer has been downloaded to a user(s) profile. This path "C:\users\downloads" happens to be the default download path on most of the Windows machines.
When running the Spotfire analyst from this path may error out as there are Windows access restrictions for creation of child folders within.
In the above error it states that the user doesn't have permissions to create/extract the "Modules\5ec97900-27f1-49ed-ae9c-823b2f406eba" and sees an "access denied" message.

How to resolve ERROR "TIBCO Spotfire Portable\Modules\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' is denied. (HRESULT: 80070005)" when launching Spotfire Portable Analyst

All supported operating systems

- Move the Spotfire portable analyst *.zip file to another location (some where on the "C:\drive". It can be a TEST folder as well) and then launch the "Spotfire.Dxp.exe".
OR
- Explicitly provide modify access to the Windows user account on the path where you see the "access denied".

NOTE:
Checking Windows folder specific permissions is out of Spotfire Support scope. It is recommended to loop/involve a Windows expert/Local IT team for assistance.
