Please Note

Installation requires ADMINISTRATOR Rights

When using the program you don’t need administrative rights. However, you do need administrative rights when

On Windows 7, Vista, 10, and 11 Windows uses UAC (User Account Control) to facilitate temporary escalation of your rights to ADMINISTRATOR. So getting ADMINISTRATOR rights is easy. If installing on Windows Vista, 7, or 10, you can right-click and click "RUN AS ADMINSTRATOR" when installing to force it to run with ADMINISTRATOR privileges. FYI, it is possible for UAC to be disabled and then it would be impossible for Windows to install with ADMINISTRATOR privileges.

Getting ADMINISTRATOR rights in Windows 2000 and XP is more difficult. You need to temporarily add your Windows USER to the local ADMINISTRATOR group.
