BF3 won't install (Need to be logged in as Admin...) - Danny - 06-16-2012
Posted this on battlelog, no help so far, maybe someone here can give me a hand.
Basically, for some reason whenever I click Install Game (from DVD, not downloaded) I get the following error:
"You must be logged in as administrator to continue."
My account is the only one on the computer, and it's Administrative. I've done some searching to see how other people fixed this problem, and things I've tried consist of:
Right clicking and 'Running as Administrator'
Disabling UAC (was disabled anyway)
Compatibility modes: Windows XP Service packs 2 & 3, Windows 7.
Disabling antivirus (don't have AV, use Anti-Malware) and restarting.
Re-installing Origin.
Nothing's worked. Does anyone have any ideas about how I can fix this?

Well that didn't work, but it's installing now after I downgraded to an older version of Origin.
Thanks anyway, and this can be locked.
