To open an elevated Command Prompt, click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

I had the same problem. Running the command prompt as administrator worked for me as well. I was surprised though, because my user is part of the adminstrators group. Does anyone know what the difference is between running as administrator and being part of the administrators group? I thought they had the same level of priviledges.

Hi Brian,

This is a major change in Windows Vista. Although the user may be part of the Administrators group, they run in standard user mode. When a system-wide operation is performed, the elevation dialog is shown. In case of legacy applications (that don't have the requireAdministrator flag set in the manifest), the user need to right-click on the program and choose "Run as Administrator".

This problem may occur if a file that the Windows Product Activation
(WPA) requires is damaged or missing. This behavior occurs if one or
both of the following conditions are true:

- A third-party backup utility or an antivirus program interferes
with the installation of Windows XP.
- A file that WPA requires is manually modified

It will work fine if you turn off User Account Control.
