xFire requires admin access

[firemansam87]

I just installed Windows 7 Pro x64, and I am trying to install xFire. It tells me "This installer requires admin access, try again"

Windows seems to have alot of privlages issues.

Any ideas?

 

[not so gray matter]

Enable your administrator account and try to install it from there:

Start > "cmd" > Right Click cmd.exe > Run as Admin...
Enter line: net user administrator /active:yes
Log Off
Log In Using Administrator Account
Install Xfire
Log Out
Log In Using Normal Account
Check to make sure you can use Xfire properly
If so, disable Administrator Account by running the same line in cmd.exe w/ a no instead of yes...
net user administrator /active:no

Otherwise you could just disable UAC while you install Xfire...

Control Panel > User Accounts > Change User Account Control Settings > Slide to bottom

I disabled UAC, didn't work.

Worked the other way though.... what a shit of a thing to have to do!!!

EDIT-----

You need to restart your PC after you disable UAC. Now it works fine.
