Can't remove 'Read Only' for C:/Windows/installer

Yeap, as per the title

Now I'm having problems installing java.

I'm logged into my only account, which is an admin account, and yet I can't remove the read-only thing from the folder. Please help.

This is related to the 'error 2203' problem when installing java

Edit: Here's the folder c:\windows\installer

Try booting into safe mode, then take ownership of the folder, then have your way with it..
