It means that setup.exe requires admin rights, but your logged in user 
account does not have them.  You will find that you are likely going to hit 
a lot of UAC (User Acess Control) issues now that you are on Vista.

That is a bad place to put them, even on XP.  The "C:\Program Files" 
hierarchy should be treated as read-only except to installers.  You should 
be storing your project files underneath your "My Documents" folder 
somewhere.  RAD STudio has a folder already set up there for you.

Because "C:\Program Files" and its subfolders are read-only to begin with.

That is Vista for you.
