Hi Martin,

Thanks for that, it is what I suspected, but I'm not a Windows expert. My feeling is that things have changed over the years - that on XP or you could have full admin rights.

So everyone, **if you have problems installing, use "run as administrator" nothing else will do**.

BTW out on the virtual server (Ubuntu 14.04), I can log in as root, and I have no need to do 'sudo' (Linux equivalent of "run as admin").

Have you tried logging as as a "normal" user and right clicking "Run as

BTW, the only way to grant full administrator-rights is to use "Run as
Administrator". Logging-in as Administrator is impossible in Windows as
it is in Linux. Setting a user as 'Administrator' in Windows _doesn't_
allow full admin-rights, this is by design and best practice (since ages).
