I'm trying to install a game for Windows 7 and it needs to install a font into the fonts folder. I've tried what I seen on the windows community and I tried a script I found on github, but neither worked. Any help?

Depend on the install. If it predates Windows Vista it's likely not aware of UAC. You can use a program like procmon to monitor activity of the installer and it can help track down problems such as 'access denied'
Mos programs, games included, should elevate their permissions during installation. Is that not the case? If no you should be able to right click the installer and select "Run as Administrator"

It just gets stuck during installation, so my best guess is that it can't write in the folder.
