Hello,
I have the exact same issue, except I am not able to solve this by creating a new "Admin" account with administrator privileges.
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate and have for the better part of a year been trying to install a new version of Newsbin. The older version has worked well until recently when it stopped loading headers.
My only administrator account (and also only account) is named Benasaur with [password]. I do not have an account named "Administrator," though windows reports that one exists in that name, but it is not visible and I cannot access it. I also created an account "Admin" to troubleshoot per the above but have not been successful.
Upon running the installer, I get the prompt that asks to install from this account or to install from another account. I then get a variety of errors all relating to privileges, such as:
Install as: Admin/no pwd
"The Newsbin Installer requires Administrator privileges to run. Please try again"
Install as Administrator/no pwd
"Logon failure: user account restriction. Possible reasons are blank passwords not allowed, logon hour restrictions, or a policy restriction has been enforced."
Install as Benasaur/pwd
"Unable to gain Administrator rights. Error: 5"
I have never had any issues installing other programs. Any support in this regard would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Ben
