I have found if you are not an admin user, and you try to install it, it installs in the admin users' files, not yours. so, if "jeff" were a regular user and tried to install it, and got approval from an admin "bob", then it will install the program files into "bob's" user files, and "jeff" will not be able to access it unless they move the files over from one user to another.

Yeah, that's right. Not an error, just a quirk of the way permissions and user-specific folders work in Windows. You have to install it as an administrator user. (Not as a regular user with some other admin user's credentials.)
