The aiStarter must be installed on the default path.  aiStarter cannot be installed at a different location.   To install to the default path might require Administration Privileges on a Windows PC.  You can force Admin by right clicking on the installer exe file and following the instructions.

You are on a school network.  That creates problems if the IT department has installed a Firewall that prohibits access to the C drive.

From the Windows install instructions: You must perform the installation from an account that has administrator privileges. Installing via a non-administrator account is currently not supported.

and this   Do not change the installation location but record the installation directory  . One of the reasons the software must be installed on the C drive is that if it is not and later un-installed, uninstalling creates serious issues on the PC.   Sorry, you cannot install the aiStarter at a different location Sindy.

The install instructions for the emulator are here: http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/windows.html 

There is special advice for schools on how to install AI2 emulator software on a network  Are you a student or faculty?   If you are faculty, you may be able to get the school's IT person to install this following guidance here:
