Go into that folder and see if the file's there already. If it is, try deleting it.

Go into control panel->user accounts and(temporarily) disable User account control if it's enabled.

Status: offline 		Haha, the irony is that later versions of Windows have tried to make it more 'accessible', yet it's probably created way more problems than it's solved. This would never have been a problem in XP.

Now let's just hope you can get past the dependencies issue that several people seem to be having.
