how was it installed? right click and “run as admin”?

No, just double click on it… Is this the right way to install it?

just a double click is “normal” on WinVista/Win7 (the wingrass should ask
automatically for admin rights for install), but on winxp a right click and
“run as admin” is required to have rights for installing in C:\Program
Files, it’s an very old issue here on the windows side. :frowning:

unfortunately and contrary to linux, in windows - also in WinVista/Win7 -
there can be a lot different flavours how rights to install in C:\Program
Files are set.

just give it a try with a right click and run as admin …

Same result, not solved.

Thanks,
madi
