I do not run as admin. I have to have permission to do everything (Ex: Type in admin. password to download files, etc) I actually don't have anything in my downloads folder. I just installed Sims3 on to a new computer and I have nothing really installed on it except for the programs that came with the computer.
Okay leave the application where it is for now. Will it let you uninstall the application from add/remove programs? If you don't have admin rights I think I know the answer but it's worth a try.
I can. Once I do this would you like me to download it again to the right folder?
Yes uninstall the application via add/remove programs. Then go back to the executable and cut from where you have it and paste it in the Downloads folder where I have the line drawn to. Then once you have it in the Downloads folder, let's run the setup again by clicking on the executable. Make sure it does the setup in your Programs folder where it belongs. I do believe as far as Program folder structure goes winVista and win7 have the same paths. Then you will have your WinRAR program folder and the executable in the folder like the second pic.
