Hi thanks very much for these instructions. The account is administrator privilege account.

The problem is that the installer doesn't accept users in the domain admin group to run the installer.

The solution -  (from my colleague) - is to log in as the local Administrator

Hi canonuser999.

Newer versions of Windows will require you to, even when logged in as an admin, right-click the file and select Run as administrator.  You may also need to be logged in as a local admin, rather than a domain admin; the installation is developed for standard consumer use and not for deployment over a larger network setup.
