    It seems that your operating system has some redirection to drive H: and when you try to install Prism it tries to open the MSI content into a temporary folder in drive H: which of course does not exist.

    Try to set temporary drive H:\ with the following steps:

    a. Create a new text file
    b. Add it with the following text:

    subst H: /D
    subst H: C:\

    c. Save the file.

    d. Rename the file to start.bat (Note: Extension must be "bat" )

    e. Double click on the file.

    This should create a virtual drive H:\ pointing to C:\
    It will be removed on restart.

    Now try to install the software.
