The Installer Exits Because You Are Not a Local Administrator

Problem Description

When you run the installer it exits immediately with the following error message:

You are not a local machine Administrator. Setup cannot continue

To be able to run the installer, you must be logged in as a user that is a member of the Windows Administrators group on the computer where you are trying to run the installer.

What to Do

To resolve this problem:

Either:

— Log out, then log in as a user who is already a member of the local Administrators group.

— Add the user you are logged in as to the local Administrators group.

Note	To access the `Administrators` group, select Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > System Tools > Local Users and Groups > Groups > Administrators. For more information, see your Windows documentation.

Run the installer again.
