Ok I read the logs and fixed the prob myself by granting Full Control to everything I found under the Security tab for the Wesnoth folder.
Obviously, it's a permissions issue.
Weird, because I had never touched permissions for Wesnoth before.
Remember, Windows 10 has Tamper Control, so that might have messed with Wesnoth's installer...

Also - the shortcut did not autocreate from the install process. I had to go make the shortcut myself. :(
Also - expect a 64 bit version
Also - this is my day to complain; however it actually just means I LOVE WESNOTH :)

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE

Most likely this is caused by OneDrive, since this same issue has been reported before and either removing OneDrive or at least preventing it from syncing Wesnoth's directories fixed the problem.

Edit-
Also, 1.15 and later will be 64-bit on Windows.

Which kind of shortcut you mean? Currently installer doesn't support making shortcuts on desktop, it makes them only in start menu. Would for sure consider a feature request for desktop shortcut though, at least for an option for it.
