Q: I am unable to install itunes because "the installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory"

I am unable to install the newer version of itunes. I have no problem downloading but when it starts to install I get an error message that the installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\StartMenu\Programs\iTunes

I am the administrator but it doesn't recognize it

How do I get around this?

Windows 7
