    Well just installed Windows 7 and Office 2010. After the 83 updates (I started and went home), I wanted to start adding company specific installs. The first bit of software said I did not have permission to add a file to C:\Windows. Now I know that just because I am in the system administrator group (double checked) does not mean a thing to Microsoft. So I tried installing as the local admin. No luck. So I copy the file from another computer and get a message indicating I will need admin rights to copy to C:\Windows, at which time it copies the file without further interaction by me.:mad: It should not be this hard!:mad: I am beginning to think Microsoft is a description of their brains!:mad: Enough rant, back to real work on my Windows XP system. [modified]typo should be XP not NT[/modified]

    Try using a Linux (Ubuntu I recommend) Live CD to copy the files. You might also like it :)

      If this was not a work related (i.e. they told me what to install) that might be the way to go.
