Trying to install 7-zip and I keep getting this alert about not having the proper permissions and I don't know how to handle privileges, and as far as I can tell, I am signed on as the administrator.

Questions are:
1. What installer?
2. Where is it?
3. How do I give it sufficient privileges?
4. What directory is being referred to?

Hello Adam,

You should be able to right click on the 7-Zip installation exe file (installer), and click on Run as administrator to have it run with elevated rights to get the privileges it needs.

Hope this helps, :)

Actually didn't have a chance to try your suggestion as I did a work around. Loaded 7-zip onto my other networked computer and brought it over to my main computer. But thanks, and I'll probably need to use you suggestion another time.
