run as - downloading d.e. fail

[juju_reads]

i seem to miss the whole download ease at adobe - i try to install digital editions and i always stumble upon this little window asking me to choose the member type to run the installation as (run as) - admin or current user. nothing i choose to do seems to be working (even changed some passwords, just to be sure the ones i use are the correct ones...) help!?

Moved to Adobe Digital Editions

Please let us know what OS you are using?

it is windows 7 home premium

Your issue is with Windows 7, not Digital Editions. Your OS is set so that

only certain classes of users can install software. I'm not a Win 7 guy,

so I can't tell you what settings you should change.

i thought so too, but what if the only user option i have is the adobe required admin? no clue...

"I had this same issue. The morons at Adobe tech support went back and

forth for 1/2 hour trying to solve this....!

Here's the solution: donwload the setup.exe file, goto the file and right

click on it and select "run as administrator". Problem solved."

I am passing this on but have no way to determine if it will work for you.

At this point, perhaps it's worth a try!
