Under Vista, with UAC enabled, even administrator accounts do not have  
full administrator privileges. Either disable UAC or right-click the  
executable and choose "Run as administrator".

Typically, Vista will notify you when an installer needs administrative  
privileges, and prompt the user, but not always. It may have something to  
do with the name of the installer; at least that is how it worked in XP.
