Solution :-

I follow below steps and its solved my issue

• Close all PowerShell window
• Remove any existing "DO_NOT_TRUST_SitecoreRootCert" certificate from your machine
• Provide "Full Permission" to "Everyone" to folder "c:\resourcefiles"
• Provide "Full Permission" to "Everyone" to folder "C:\inetpub\wwwroot.

Try again to install the Sitecore and you should get your instance up now.

I hope this solution helps other in similar situation.

Why to upgrade Sitecore from 8.2 to 9.2

If you are running any Sitecore website in 8.x, then start to plan on its upgradation. 

Question is Why? 

Well, first thing is that mainstream support of Sitecore version 8.2 is going to end in 31st Dec 2019. However extended support will be avilable upto 31-Dec-2022. But remember there will be cost associated for providing any patch, hotfixes, DLL or development defects solution during this extended period by Sitecore.

Second MongoDB 3.4 is generally used for Sitecore 8.2 and bad news is that MongoDB 3.4 will also end its support in Jan 2020.

So I will suggest to all clients, sitecore license holders to upgrade their projects from 8.2 to latest version of Sitecore 9.2. Sitecore 9.2 comes with cutting-edge features.

Just a note Sitecore 9.2 Mainstream Support will be available upto 31st Dec 2022.
