No idea what they are talking about. So I checked on my the computer I only use for music and there version 6 downloaded and set up without any problem. Any ideas what the problem might be please?

Can't say for sure, but sounds like the user account you used to log in on first computer does not have admin rights, whereas the user account used with our Music computer does. Admin rights let you install software, change system settings, etc.
What OS are you on? Windows 10 is pretty good about prompting you to enter the username and password of an account with admin rights when you try to install software when logged in with a restricted user account.
