Cannot install software
Hi, I'm trying to install TrendMicro Internet Security on my Vista computer, but the setup won't run. I've given it administrator privileges, and I run it as an administrator, but it says I have to log in as an administrator to install it. There's only one user on the PC, so I don't really know why it won't install. Can anyone help?

Right click the installer, go to properties.

You might want to use some of the other compatibility options here as well as the "run as Administrator"

This works with most any stubborn program.

Might also make sure the Trend Micro version your installing is Vista compatible.

Lastly... have you already purchased Trend Micro?
