Errors in running OS8.1.3 x64 server installer

I just compared the result of the same log file from a different server with a successful installation and this is what I found in the log:
------------------------
Log started 01/29/2018 at 10:50:26
Preferred installation mode : win32             >>>>still don't understand why it thinks that win32 is the preferred mode!! Is this a bug in the installer or this is how it is supposed to work?
Trying to init installer in mode win32
Mode win32 successfully initialized
Executing C:\Users\<my user account>\AppData\Local\Temp\OS8.1.3SVR\getinfo_x64.exe 
Script exit code: 0

Script output:
 getinfo.exe adminslocalgroup

getinfo.exe admins [input]

getinfo.exe config [input]
-------------

So apparently the difference between the two logs is this part:

- in a successful case
Executing C:\Users\<my user account>\AppData\Local\Temp\OS8.1.3SVR\getinfo_x64.exe

- when there is an error :
Executing cmd /c  "C:\Users\DBSUPP~1.FI\AppData\Local\Temp\OS8.1.3SVR\Omnis-App-Server-8.1.3-Launcher-x64.exe" --program "L:\DBDATA\DP_PRO~1\Server8\Omnis-App-Server-8.1.3-x64.exe" --userfilter "C:\Users\db.support.fi" --user_startmenu_path "\\<server name>\tsprofiles$\<my user account>\Start Menu\Programs" --user_desktop_path "\\<serevr anme>\tsprofiles$\<my user account>\Desktop" --local_user "C:\Users\<my user account>\AppData\Local" --temp_folder "Temp\OS8.1.3SVR" --isAdmin 1 --mode win32 --installdir "" --installscope user --serialno "" --adminaccount "" --adminpassword "" --showProg normal --projectDataFilename Omnis-App-Server-8.1.3-Data-x64.exe --instAppData 1 --editionAppend "SVR"


Any idea what causes the difference in this Execute command?
Is there any documentation about this log file?

Thank you,
Mayada

Subject: Errors in running OS8.1.3 x64 server installer

Hello $all,

I'm installing OS server version 8.1.3 x64 on a Windows server 2008R2/ 64bit -- using Omnis-App-Server-8.1.3-x64.exe installer file.
I have used this installer on the same version of windows more than 20 times so far with no issues. This time I'm getting an error when I try to run the installer (run as admin), the error says something like" error in copying files from packaged archive <path to the installer>  to C:\Users\DBSUPP~1.FI\AppData\Local\Temp\OS8.1.3SVR\Omnis-App-Server-8.1.3-Launcher-x64.exe..I have to click abort to the process to stop this error msg.

When I go to "C:\Users\DBSUPP~1.FI\AppData\Local\Temp" I see a file created called " bitrock_installer.txt", which has these log records:

Log started 01/29/2018 at 12:18:10
Preferred installation mode : win32
Trying to init installer in mode win32
Mode win32 successfully initialized
Executing cmd /c  "C:\Users\DBSUPP~1.FI\AppData\Local\Temp\OS8.1.3SVR\Omnis-App-Server-8.1.3-Launcher-x64.exe" --program "L:\DBDATA\DP_PRO~1\Server8\Omnis-App-Server-8.1.3-x64.exe" --userfilter "C:\Users\db.support.fi" --user_startmenu_path "\\HOST-GW01\tsprofiles$\db.support.fi\Start Menu\Programs" --user_desktop_path "\\<serevr anme>\tsprofiles$\<my user account>\Desktop" --local_user "C:\Users\<my user account>\AppData\Local" --temp_folder "Temp\OS8.1.3SVR" --isAdmin 1 --mode win32 --installdir "" --installscope user --serialno "" --adminaccount "" --adminpassword "" --showProg normal --projectDataFilename Omnis-App-Server-8.1.3-Data-x64.exe --instAppData 1 --editionAppend "SVR"
Script exit code: 0


My question, what makes this installer think that I need to run it in "mode win32"?
Anyone has seen this error before?

Thank you,
Mayada
