Good afternoon everyone. I have found a workaround to get the UFILE2020 program installed without too much additional work. With the latest version of Windows 10, if you are logged onto Windows with your regular account (even though you may have administrator privileges), something is blocking the program from installing. To install it you need to log-on as the built-in Windows 10 administrator.
When you initially set-up Windows 10 on your computer, the administrator account is disabled, so you don't see it as a choice on the log-in screen. You need to activate the built-in administrator account. It is a pretty simple process.
Right click on the Windows start icon, which will open a pop-up window
Click on Command Prompt (Admin) to open the command screen. If you only have Command Prompt to select from, pick that and select "Run as Administrator"
In the command screen type: net user administrator /active:yes press ENTER
To set the administrator password, type: net user administrator * press ENTER
You will be prompted to enter a password and once you do that and press enter you will need to re-enter the password to confirm it
You can close the command window
Right click on the Windows start icon again and select SIGN OUT from the pop-up menu
Windows will sign you out and the log-in screen will appear, showing both the Administrator and your normal user name
Sign-on as Adminstrator. Windows will set-up a new user, which will take 5 - 10 minutes
Go to the UFILE site and download the program again (It won't be in the DOWNLOADS because the DOWNLOADS folder is associated with the current user account that is logged-in.
Install the program and activate it.
Sign out of the Administrator account and log-on to your regular account
When you open the UFILE2020 program from your account you will need to activate it again, since it detects a "new" user.
I hope this is a help to everyone.
