That is a problem I have experienced several times before when
reinstalling MiKTeX. From experience, I have found that I need to sign
in as an 'administrator' and delete every last ounce of MiKTeX before
attempting a fresh installation. Obviously, I do a reboot and sign in
as my regular user before the reinstall.
