unable to install windows live messenger

Hi all,

I am running Windows Vista ultimate July CTP. When I download MSN Messenger
from the website and try to install it, it says I dont have admin rights.
When I go to control panel --> user accounts it shows that I am admin. Any
ideas?

TIA!

I had to save the file to desktop and then run it to work. Directly clicking
Open did not work.
