I cant install OpenOffice because, at some point, the installer says it cant write in any \winsxs\ folder. As far as I see that, only "trusted installers" have access to this directory. So how do I force Win7 to like my OpenOffice installer? I changed compability to Vista and everything is ran...

I'm getting quite annoyed with the OS because it constantly is saying I do not have privileges to open a file, or delete a file, or write to a folder. It's confusing because I have UAC off, I am the admin, I check the folder and it says everyone has full privileges and I don't have my firewall...
