Solved Install Requires Admin Priveleges

I'm flummoxed. I'm trying to install Adobe CS5, and even though I've tried:
1) right click installer, "Run as administrator"
2) activate Vista "hidden" Admin account from CMD line and try running install from that account

Install still balks and says "You must have administrator priveleges to install this software".

Any ideas? Vista Ultimate x64. My Win7 discs will be here Weds., so this may fix the problem!

If Richards advice fails (which is unlikely knowing his history) then:

Where did you download this from?

By Adobe CS5, do you mean the master collection, or an individual program?

Not a download. Purchased (student) copy of CS5 Production Premium. I don't do hacked or cracked or "shared" or KeyGen software. Pay for what I use, I figure that's fair.

Ok, I just wanted to establish whether a crack or a patch could be the cause of this problem

Thanks, that's another good reason not to fool with that stuff. My Win7 disc will be here Weds., so I'm going to bet on a clean install of Win7 fixing most/all of my problems. I hope.
