file access problem. You have to be logged into Windows as a user with
Admin rights", even if I run it as a "Run as administrator"" option.

Is the application designed to be capable of installing and running on
Vista? What has this application's manufacturer' technical support had
to say about this issue?

Thanks Flavius, yes you are right, this is a game Age of Empires.
Actually Readme doc says:

*A. Installing -Age of Empires III-*

To install -Age of Empires III-, you must have administrator rights on
your computer and your computer must be running Microsoft Windows® XP.

so I guess is non-compatible w vista?

Any suggestion?

Thanks for you help!
