[Elecraft] K3 Utility Installation Problem (somewhat OT)

[Dick Dievendorff]

Only the K3 setup program (the installer) needs to be run as an
administrator. Like many installation programs, the program files are
installed in the Program Files folder, which is shared across all users.

Once the K3 Utility is installed, administrative privileges are NOT required
to use the K3 Utility program.

as administrator".  Windows 7 has tighter security than good old Windows 
XP.  The OS won't let just anybody create directories.  Almost anytime 
you run an install program it is wise to run it as Administrator.
