You are not a member of the Administrators group for this computer. You must be a member of the Administrators group
in order to install applications and make changes to this computer.
To make a user a member of the Administrators group, exit and log-in using an Administrator account. Then use
the User Manager program to add a user to the Administrators group for this computer.
CAUSE
This issue can occur because you did not add the new user to the Local Administrators group.
