need to be administrator to install a game

I have Vista and I am trying to update World of Warcraft after installing it and it says cannot install because you need to be the administrator. I am the admin but I guess it needs something for me to be done so my profiler is seen as the boss. Can somebody show me how to set that up so I can install my game?

Thanks

on the install luancher right click and choose properties... on that go to compatabilty then check the box that says run as administrator. you will have to click accept once you restart the updating process.

edit: just to clarify, the "install luancher" is the icon you are clicking to start the installation process.

Really simple stuff.

Thanks a bunch

Yeah, you'll have a few applications that do this sort of thing the first time they run (but the patched version won't because it understands Vista/7 better.)
