I cannot get latest version of bitcoin-qt to install. this is my first install and I've tried to install several times, downloaded the install packet from different browsers, and tried to run directly from host site, but I get the same issue. any suggestions?
I found the problem. The installer needed to be run as administrator. thanks anyway.
Nonono it should not require running as administrator.
The problem here is that it can't write to c:\program files as your user but you should be able to install somewhere that you can write to.
I did run as administrator before I saw this post. Should I uninstall and reinstall in a different place?

Why? if you got it to work that's fine. I replied here so that people stumbling on this issue wouldn't think that "installing bitcoin requires administrator".
Ok, thanks.
