Adobe Air - Sorry, an error has occured - Installing Problem

Question

I just got this update today and when I update it through Avast Software Updated it fails, and when I install it manually, it tells me installation may not be allowed by my administrator. Why is this... When I "AM" the only user and administrator on this computer. Thanks. Here are some screenshots of what I am talking about.

I finally found something that worked for me (Windows 10).

- After downloading the Adobe Air .exe file, go to its location (usually in your Downloads folder) and right click on it. Rather than clicking on "Run as Administrator" (which did not work for me), click on "Properties".

- Then go to the "Compatibility" tab.

- At the bottom of the Compatibility tab place a check beside "Run this program as an Administrator".

- Hit the "Apply" button and try running your Adobe Air install again.

Note: After doing this, I had to do the same steps for the program that I was initially trying to install that required Adobe Air as a pre-requisite.
