I've had a similar issue with uTorrent Classic and I think it might be due to the .NET Framework version. I uninstalled the latest version and installed an older one, which resolved the issue. Make sure you have the correct .NET Framework version installed, if not, download and install it from Microsoft's official website. It worked for me and hopefully it will work for you.

Error during installation of uTorrent Classic usually occurs due to insufficient administrator permissions, antivirus blocking the installer, or corrupted setup files. It may also happen if your Windows Operating System version is incompatible or outdated. Firewall restrictions, lack of disk space, or conflicting software can also trigger errors. Running the installer as administrator and downloading a fresh copy often fixes the issue.

I had a similar issue while installing uTorrent Classic, the problem was resolved when I disabled my antivirus software temporarily during the installation process, it seems like some antivirus programs are flagging uTorrent as a potential threat and blocking the installation, so make sure to whitelist uTorrent or disable your antivirus while installing to avoid any issues, it worked for me and it might work for others as well.

Errors installing µTorrent Classic often occur due to antivirus blocking, corrupted installer files, lack of admin permissions, or leftover registry data from previous installs. Windows compatibility issues or missing updates can also interfere. Re-downloading the installer, running as administrator, or temporarily disabling security software usually resolves the problem.
