So i just opened my new dell workstation and am exited to finally have a cuda card I can test octane on but upon opening the downloaded file, I get an error "you must run this installer with administrative rights. try installing as another user."

...makes sense enough itself, but considering the computer is brand new, and I am the administrator, I'm stumped.

My operating system is Windows 7 - 64 bit.

just right click the installer and choose 'run as administrator'.
maybe also check the tutorial video on the downloads page (top left link) or the included PDF.
