can't install any programs

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I've tried installing a new HP printer software, Ad-Aware SE, and Bug
Doctor. I cannot load any new software on my computer without getting an
error message.

HP software= system cannot find path specified

Ad-Aware= UNWISE.EXE could not be opened. Check that you have access to the
destination directory.

Bug Doctor = Setup was unable to create directory. Error 5 Access denied.

Any ideas on what I need to do?
