When I am trying to install Python on my computer I get the error "administrative rights are required". It is only one account on my computer so I do not understand the message.

Try right-clicking the Deploy installer and seeing if there's an option to run it as admin or similar.

Running MSI packages needing admin rights in some windows (Don't remember if XP or vista) is little annoying for it doesn't give run as (Now I remember it is XP) you just run command line at admin level and then moving using commandline to file dir and run it.
Little bit deviation but I thought worth to say!
