I've been struggling with getting Q10 installed on Windows 7 for about
a week now, and JUST found the problem. Under Windows 7 C:\Program
Files is a read-only folder unless you're logged in as admin. Seems
to me that's a decent little security feature. Instead of double-
clicking on the installable, you need to right-click on it and select
"Run as Admin" to get it to install. Figured I'd post that here to
help out anyone that has the same problem down the line.

Thanks for an awesome editor!

Just had the same problem but this sorted it. Thanks very much, seems
your guess that it might help others was spot-on!

Is using an administrator account (which I am) not the same as being
logged in as admin though? I don't understand that, but if it works,
who cares?

Thanks again,
Samchjo
