It explains the details from Manish's reply, and will atleast get you working.
But this has to do something with the user account. I think that you should check that your account has sufficient privileges that let the software make changes to system files on disc. For example, make sure that the account you're signed into is part of the Administrators group.
Btw, does this also happen with other software as well, or is it just InDesign CS6?

JWH-NIRC Jun 28, 2012 12:18 AM (in response to Vikrant Rai)- I doubt CS6 qualifies as an "older program" that needs to run in XP mode. I set it to run automatically with "as Administrator," so it works. But not as it should (as I described above).
- I am the only user and have full administrator privileges.
- The only other programs I have trouble with are those in the CS6 suite (Illustrator & Photoshop).
- All of the above app;lies to both my 32-bit Win 7 computers.

7. Re: InDesign CS6 will only run "as administrator"
JWH-NIRC Jun 28, 2012 3:18 PM (in response to JWH-NIRC)When I run in "Win XP SP3 Compatability Mode," I get a pop-up screen asking if I want to allow the program to write to drive C: (the same as when I run it "as administrator"). Let's say I go ahead and the program opens, what do I check for? And when I am done, is there a way to undo this so I can continue to "run as administrator" as before, in case things get messed up?
Sorry to be ignorant, but this compatibility mode thing is new to me...
