Upon further research it was found out that there is no need to install Virtual Com Port Driver(VCP_V1.3.1_Setup.exe) in windows 10 as usage of the native Inbox driver is recommended, for more information, read their technical documentation at https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stsw-stm32102.html.

Compatible with the x86 and x64 platforms

The STSW-STM32102 software package contains four installation files based on the various versions of the Microsoft® operating system.

OS versions prior to Windows® 7 are compatible with the Windows® 7 installations included in the package.

Starting from Windows® 10, the STSW-STM32102 driver is no more adequate and the usage of the native inbox driver is recommended.

My software requires a user to supply Admin's credentials when asked by windows operating system.

This scenario used to be working well with Windows-7 where user would double click on the executable and Windows will prompt a dialog asking the user to supply Admin credentials.

With Windows-10, I am observing that if I log in as Admin, I am able to install Virtual Com Port Driver X64 (VCP_V1.3.1_Setup.exe) prerequisite as well as able to install software too but with other non-admin accounts where I am supposed to supply Admin Credentials, software install seems to be hung while installing Virtual Com Port Driver x64.

  You need to run the executable as another user if you want to install it with your current Windows 10 configuration. Windows 7 worked slightly different when allowing additional privileges to a process.

  I am sorry but I may not have understood the comment. I am running the executable as another user I think that is why windows prompting a dialog to me to supply Admin credentials, I have to provide different domain to along with my user name
