"You must be logged in ..."

05-21-2008

I'm usiing Vista, and I get this when I try to install a program:

"You must be logged in as an administrator when installing this program."

I don't want to know why, I just want to install the dang program. This
never happened under XP, of course, but I am stuck with Vista (this is not
the place to express rage or disgust, esp. when I am in need of help from MS
MVPs). Please tell me in simple, clear English what steps I have to take to
install the program. Thanks.

Right-click the setup/installer program and select "Run as Administrator".
