as the title really, trying to install a copy of office 07 that works on my xp machine but vista is giving me the error - you must be an administrator to install office 07.

theres only one user account set up on this machine so i dont get it?

Have you got uac on or off?

try a right click 'run as admin'

In control check that the account your running has admin Privileges

There is a built in admin account, boot up in safe mode and you'll see it there

Try right clicking on the exe and click run as admin
