In my case it said "this program must run with data execution protection enabled. You cannot turn off...". I am logged in as an adminstrator, too.
You may need to change your data execution prevention settings. To do so visit http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Change-Data-Execution-Prevention-settings & know more details about DEP from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875352
