Winzip Self Extractor Error – The Requested Operation Requires Elevation

March 19, 2008 at 10:10 am · Filed under Internet & Computers

Yes, I do agree with you.  The error message does not make any sense.

There I was, having downloaded 1.3GB of CNC Demo, all ready to install on my Windows Vista when WinZip suddenly pops up an error message “the requested operation requires elevation”.  I clicked OK and nothing happened.  I tried reinstalling 3 times and the same thing happens.

Instead of double clicking the installation file, I right-clicked on the file and chose “Run as administrator”.  Woohoo… it worked. :)
