EZD2 Demo won’t install, saying I must be logged in as Administrator

[landawng]

Anyone happen to know a fix for this?

I’ve extracted all of the files. I have double checked to make sure I am the Administrator on my PC. Cannot figure out wtf is going on 🙁

Hi,

are you on Windows? Which version? Where is your installer located? Can you right-click the installer exe and select ‘Run as Admin…’?

I seem to be having the same problem…

each time I try to install it I get this:

I am the administrator.

I located the 64bit installer in my downloads folder but when I right click on the installer, “run as administrator” is not one of the options.

I’m using Windows 7 Home Premium version.

I’m at a loss as to what to try next.

OK, I figured it out…

Apparently there is a hidden Administrator account in Windows 7 (8 & 10 also). I googled how to activate the “master” Administrator account and was able to install all my Toontrack products.

Here’s the link in case anybody else has this issue:
