MSN messanger needs admin rights

[Matsul]

I am a heavy user of MSN but on logging in was asked to upgrade.

I downloaded MSN 6.2 but can't install it as I am not an Administrator.

Any idea how I can run the program ?

Get your network administrator to install it for you?

Yes but they won't

In that case, you will have to persuade the powers that be that it is necessary for your work and useful in the office.

Nobody on Tek-tips will help you gain administrative access to your workstation where you should not have it.

No offense, but then this really isn't a place for you to pose this question. This site isn't here to help you circumvent the policies or procedures of your company. If they won't install it, then I think you should abide by their ruling.

Well you can use other substitutes like Msn Webmessenger (similar to msn6.2)or

That doesn't solve his "can't install" problem. Regardless, I agree, this isn't the place to help you get fired.
