Install needs administrator's account? -ACID Product Family

Subject:Install needs administrator's account? Posted by: foetus66 Date:11/28/1999 4:21:00 AM I just downloaded the file acid20_enu and attempted to install it. I went through the user agreement, etc and it began copying files. Half-way through, it gives me this error: You do not have access to make the required system configuration modificiations. Please rerun this installation from an administrator's account. My home computer does not have an administrator, because that could only be me. What's up? I am anxious to try it out. Carl

If it's Windows NT, check that your account has full administrative rights to the computer. NT security normally would prevent you from installing software as a non-administrator.

I just downloaded the file acid20_enu and attempted to
install it. I went through the user agreement, etc and it
began copying files. Half-way through, it gives me
this error:

You do not have access to make the required system
configuration modificiations. Please rerun this
installation from an administrator's account.

My home computer does not have an administrator, because
that could only be me. What's up? I am anxious to try it
out.

Carl,

Which operating system are you using?

If it's Windows NT, check that your account has full administrative
rights to the computer. NT security normally would prevent you from
installing software as a non-administrator.
