    When I try to install a certain app, I get the following notice.
    The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory:
    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Skype
    Logon as Administrater or contact your system Administrater.
    I am an Administrater. I put a Skype folder in there. No help.
    I also checked for a Virus and Malware. None. Now what.

    Is this with Vista or Win 7? Sure might make a difference if it is. You may be logged in as an administrator, but lots of things you have to right click on and choose RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR.

    OK I see that this is in the Win 7 forum.

    Do not ask me why, but I did try to install some more times and finally was able to install.
