Open My Computer, then right-click on the DVD drive icon, then select run as administrator. Or you may need to right-click, select Explore, then find the .exe you want, and right-click that, and choose run as administrator. I assume you're on Windows Vista. Good luck and have fun!

your first method was my idea, it didn't work. and your second method doesn't work either, the option to run as admin just isn't there.

hmm. did you try changing the properties of the .exe by ticking the check box to run as administrator also? (under right-click menu)

That work work because you can't alter a file on a CD, they're permanently read-only.
