Problems installing programs into a "limited" user account

[Guest]

I am unable to instal a program in my son's user account (which is a
"Limited" account. )I am not given the option to provide my Adminstrator
passwod to enable me to instal the program. This used to be an option but now
seems to have disappeared.

Can anyone help, as I am not keen to give my son "Administrator" privliges

Install the program from your administrator account.
-or-
Change his account to an administrator, install the program, then change his account back again.

Hi. If you right click the installation package, you will see a menu item run as... Try this and run as administrator. Then enter your administrator password and install the programme.

Hope this is of help,
