Administrator priviliges

[Dave T.]

Hi folks,

Some 3rd party applications recommend installation from an administrator
account. Does this mean a "True" administrator, or is it good enough to
right click the installer and select "run as administrator" and what is
the difference?
....and the education continues.

Hi Dave,

I have had no problems when using the 'run as admin.' from the right
click. I don't believe there is any difference except for the UAC
prompt, which would not occur if you where in a full administrator
account.

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it.

Hello Dave T,
If you equate "True" administrator to Built-in administrator, the
answer is no. The recommendation is merely making sure you're on admin
account before installation.
As Gary said," Run As Aministrator" is sufficient.

Thanks. I appreciate it.
