Firefox won't install. It is looking for an Administrator password (I have never set up) and won't install under my user (which is an administrator account). Any suggestions?

I download the install. I can save it or run it (reacts the same way). It extracts and asks for a password for Administrator. I've not set this up, so it won't install. So I'll click the button to use my account, which is an administrator account, and it goes away and doesn't come back. Nothing happens.

Right-Click on the setup file and choose Run as Administrator

Thanks. It was too obvious for me!
