Unable to upgrade Ignition from 8.1.13 to 8.1.32 receiving error:
An Error Has Occurred com.inductiveautomation.ignition.installer.common.actions.InstallAction$HaltInstallException: Unable to extract install into 'C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition'
The stack trace points to it not being able find the Principal User
This typically occurs because the permissions/owner of the initial installation do not allow the current user to modify the install directory

The initial owner of the Install directory seems to be 5-1-5-21-1056255678-1622950809-1427260136-60794
Modifying this to be invadmin through the Advanced Security settings on the Ignition folder allowed for the Gateway to upgrade successfully
Gateway seems healthy upon starting with all expected configurations
Perspective session also seems to be working as expected
