Error creating directory H:/ .flickr-downloadr

It looks like you might not have access to write into the H:\ drive.

You could temporarily add an environment variable named HOME that points to %USERPROFILE% and rerun the installer. To see how to set an environment variable, see this article

Uhm so your home directory is a network disk? Probably the software is appending "/.flickr-downloadr" to "H:", which is not a good idea :)

Try what has been said before:

add an environment variable named HOME that points to %USERPROFILE% and rerun the installer
