This sounds like you installed the software using the administrator account,
but are using it while logged in as a lower level user. To solve this, you
could grant your user account administrative privileges, or you could try
re-installing the software in the user account. Sometimes, an install cannot
be done without administrative privileges. Others may have a simpler fix.

    I recently upgraded a PC from Windows 98 to Windows 2000 professional in
a Windows 2000 Server environment .  After the upgrade, everything appears
to be working properly, except MS Outlook 2002 and MS Word 2002.  When
attempting to launch these applications, I'm prompted with a "Windows
Installer Dialogue Box"  followed by this message:  "You must be the
Administrator or approved by the Administrator to install this application"
After clicking OK a couple of times, both applications completely launch but
once I close the applications and re-launch them I receive the same message
that refers to needing to be the Administrator or approved by the
Administrator...  Under the Windows 98 Operating System, all users were able
to logon to the network and launch any applications with no problems from
this one workstation. I've tried logging as the local administrator for this
particular machine and launching the applications in question.  But I still
receive the same reoccurring message, when logged on as a regular user.
