    If you're not the administrator, you are supposed to ask the administrator when you want to do things that require administrator privileges.

    This makes sure that the computer is managed properly by somebody who knows what they are doing and makes sure that they can keep on top of what is and isn't installed, configured or set up on each computer.

    If it is your own computer, and you are the person who is in charge of it, then you will need to (a) set up an administrator account, (b) install Vuze either from within the administrator account or by using "Run as..." or "Run as Administrator" to run the installer as an administrator, and (c) return to your normal user account for everyday use, so that any viruses you get are somewhat limited in terms of what damage they can cause to your system.

    No. You have to be the administrator.

    Nope, that's the whole point.
