Access denied??

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I have written a VB script to install several applications onto a
Windows Vista notebook. It has worked fine up to now, but on one
computer I am getting several different error messages. One is
"Access Denied" when i tried to copy some files to a C:\Program Files
subfolder, in a folder where I just installed a program. Another is
"Unable to save shortcut" when i tried to create and save a new
shortcut to the AllUsersDesktop folder.

I am doing this under an administrator user, and UAC is turned on. And
this has worked without problems on multple similar computers! What
setting do I have to change?
