Hi @박지민

This usually happens because the installation path is so long that the database installer ends up being unable to access some files. You can try to move the installation files to a new folder.

But you are not trying to install in C:\Temp, are you? I mean, this seems to be an error that occurs before you get the opportunity to select the installation path, isn't that so? So I guess C:\temp is where you downloaded the installation file.

How did you run the installation? If possible select Download Media and try again.

My gut reaction to the error is that your machine is messed in some way and would need a repair of some sort. What OS do you have?
