    My computer is an Audio Video workstation, and Avid recommend installing Avid Media Composer 6 as Administrator.

    Doesn't that mean right clicking the setup file and rejecting run as administrator? As far as i know, there's no program which require you to enable the separate built-in administrator account. .
