Hi all, great forum.

I'm just kinda getting into PC gaming and I bought Sniper elite.
I have installed it properly ( as administrator) but when I run it all I get is a message that says:

To install the application, you must have administrator privileges on your computer

What am I doing wrong?? Or is this game not compatible with vista??

Please help
Thanks

Why does it mention that you must install it as admin, when you have already done so?

Try to run it in compatible mode, or run as admin.

I've tried both those things and still no joy.

Maybe Sniper elite is just too old to be run on vista.

Thanks anyways

I seriously have no clue on this one, especially because it asks for you to install the game over again as an admin, when you already have installed it.

But you can always try to search for a solution on Google.

Good luck!
