I've checked system requirements and can't find a problem with that.  Any ideas?

I just had the same issue trying to install.  I suspect that when I set up Vista, I set it to obort installations that accessed the internet. Odd that Google Toolbar seems to install by accident on many things but a legit app like Telescope is having trouble.\

Hi Brooks,

Thanks for resolving and returning to explain the fix for this.

On your "odd" comment: I think comparing a small plug in application to a standalone large "beta" application is a bit like comparing apples to rocks. Truth be told, it's a small number of people that are experiencing issues compared to the amount of downloads. 

Thank you,

I have the same problem.  It wouldn't allow me to install anything.  I'm not a computer person. is there a step by step solution to solve the issue?  thanks

Error system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation. The error occured when  trying to install and application in safe mode. When I logged on with the Administrator account I could then install program.

What version of Windows are you running?

Does your user account have Administrator Privileges?

Read First information makes troubleshooting problem easier!

You probably have your User Account Control turned on.  That was the issue of mine.  Go to "Control Panel", from there, go to "User Accounts and Family Safety", Click on "User Accounts", and in the list, there should be an option that says "Turn User Account Control On or Off".  It will require a system restart.  But fixed my problem perfectly.

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium, so I'm not sure if the tabs are the same in other Vista O/S, but I imagine they would be somewhat similar.

i'm still having trouble

FORGET ABOUT THE LAST MESAGE I GOT MY INSTALLATION TO WORK!
