With the Foxit Reader installer, I encountered the same problem 
that I did with OpenOffice.org 3.2 installer - it insisted that 
I lacked sufficient rights on my own system (I have admin rights). 

The difference is that the OOo installer eventually relented and 
I got 3.2 installed despite the protests - and without any change 
to my system (Windows XP Pro x64).  The Foxit installer just 
keeps crapping out after the splash-screen and the warning. 

Too bad. I was prepared to try it and upgrade to the pay-for version. 

Maybe I'll see if I can get it to install on my laptop at home, 
with Windoze 7 Ultimate.
