ArangoDB installation in Windows 8

I downloaded ArangoDB version 2.3.4 and tried to install it on my Windows 8 OS.

During the installation, I had been prompted to choose the default path or All Users and such. I opted for default path, which installed the application under the path C:\Program Files\ArangoDB 2.3.4\bin. After successfully installed ArangoDB, I tried to open the console and typed arangod.exe. It prompted me some error message:

ERROR cannot open datafile "c:\program files\arangodb 2.3.4 ....\logfile-207139.db': 'No Error'
ERROR cannot open datafile "c:\program files\arangodb 2.3.4 ....\logfile-207139.db": system error
ERROR could not inspect WAL logfiles: system error
FATAL unable to start WAL logfile manager

I am not sure what's going wrong, but I tried uninstall and reinstall with All User option and it worked by showing me

ArangoDB is ready for business. Have fun!

However, the ArangoDB was installed under the C:\Users\Public\Documents\ArangoDB 2.3.4 folder, which I think is not appropriate. Anyone knows how to install by selecting the default path on Windows 8?

I have finally found a solution on this. Go to the var folder security tab and click on Advanced then Disable the inheritance. It works for me now
