Is this a standalone computer (like a home computer) or a member of a
domain (like a work computer)?
If a home computer, go to Control Panel>User Accounts and look at your
user account. Is it a Limited or Computer Administrator type? If the
latter, you have administrative privileges and can just install the
program by double-clicking the installer.
If you need more help, go to this link to see what information you need
to include in your next post (as well as the answers to my questions
