Error installing FM 7.1p116

[Art Campbell]

Roger, before I did anything dramatic like taking off unrelated software....

First, it'd be good that you confirm that you're trying to install as
a user with
Admin privileges, and also that you're the same user who installed the
first version.

If there's anything unusual there, I'd try booting into protected mode
and installing as
the Administrator.
