Default Game 'requires' administrator account to be installed when it was

Hi,

I installed the demo version of Ricky Ponting International Cricket 2005,
and I ran it. A dialogue box called "Protection System" appeared and says "To
install the application, you must have Administrator privileges on your
computer". However, it was installed in an Administrator account, and is
trying to run in an Administrator account. I am not sure of the reason.

if you try and right click the installer and choose to run as administrator
can you install it fine then?
