I just recieved my work laptop and I am trying to install my salesforce DX. I have downloaded Salesforce CLI but not able to install it. The installation wizard is opening a popup box stating that not able to write Output folder: C:\Program Files\sfdx Output folder: C:\Program Files\sfdx\bin Can't write: C:\Program Files\sfdx\bin\sf

It asking me to either abort or skip the file. What do I do ?

You need to run the installer as Administrator (right-click, Run As Administrator). If you don't have Administrator permissions, you can try installing NodeJS, then installing the CLI via npm install --global sfdx-cli.

    @BashSalesforce Like I said, you can install NodeJS as a non-administrator (in most cases), the install the NPM version of sfdx-cli. If your laptop is really locked down, then you'll have to have IT install for you via GPO. Commented Feb 14, 2022 at 5:15
