Fonts installed with ADV cannot be removed with system control panel

Fonts that have been installed with Advanced Installer cannot be removed by the user with the system control panel for fonts. Clicking the Remove button simply does nothing (Windows 10).

Right-click on the fonts in Explorer and "Install for all users" replaces them and then they can be removed by the user. I suspect this is an access permission problem, but how to fix it?

Is there a setting I am missing that needs to be changed?

Ok it turned out the fonts have been added and installed in a subfolder below "Fonts" which caused the problem.
Advanced Installer should maybe warn about that. I was not aware that subfolders are not allowed.
