Re: Installing a program from the Owner profile?

actually, that didnt work. it seemed like it would have worked but it didnt.
i have Home edition and i did what you said, going to the administrators
account and creating the new profile. i did all that. then tried to install
and got the same error message. "Error: You do not have access to make the
required system configuration modifications. Please re-run this installationg
from an administrators account." so knowing how to get to that account i went
to it again and tried installing the program from there. and it still didnt
work. i was also thinking that of the 4 profiles on my computer we are all
computer administrators so im guessing that it should have works. maybe if
there was only one computer administrator would that work? its just a theory.
i havent tried it yet. it just seems like it would work. anyway, maybe theres
something i didnt do?
