My thanks to all who responded to my post about not being able to install a
game from CD-ROM. After trying a few of the suggestions, I got the game
installed by listing the files on the CD-ROM and selecting "run as
administrator" for the executable. Not a super big deal, but as a retired
dude with a fixation on Samantha Swift, I've enabled a huge time synch...

Normally, the OS has "magical elevation" for suitably named programs.

It is supposed to elevate "Setup.exe" as one of those special cases.

If the installation thing had a different name than that,
then yes, it might need manual elevation from a right-click menu.
