Learn to read (and follow) directions first before you criticize.

He's referring to the NTFS permissions on the file where it resides. You have to edit the permissions on the file itself in order to edit it.

Ahhhhh - I didn't know [but now I do], Thanks. =)

How would I approach that? Just right click the file directly?

When your client is located underneath Program Files, typically it inherits permissions on Program Files which is usually pretty restricted to modifying anything, if at all read rights.

Yes you right click the file and go to Security, in there you can click 'Edit...' and modify your NTFS permissions from there.
