... written to fast ... my winxp-laptop is now a ubuntu box ;o), so
nothing to test winxp here anymore:
104 ;Request application privileges for Windows Vista
it's only for WinVista and above.
on WinXp right click and "run as admin" should be the way installing
programs.
it's an old issue with winxp, just google it ... ;o)
