Installation problem

Hey, everyone.
I just downloaded PR tonight. The last time I played was years ago (I had to quit BF2 because my computer at the time stopped supporting it.)
Anyway, I downloaded the torrents but now when I try to install the 1st part, it doesn't respond for about 5 minutes and I get the "pr_0957_full_part1of3_setup is trying to access your computer" message. After I click yes to allowing it, I get an error message saying "Access is denied"
I experimented and clicked the 2nd and 3rd part and after a long wait the installation screen pops up and it appears to work.
I have no idea what to do.
Just looking for suggestions, thanks all
Edit: Just tried redownloading part 1 and I get the same problem

When I try running it as administrator it tells me I have to be logged in as an administrator to run the program.
And I'll add you on xfire as soon as I can use my computer again. I'm on my iPod at the moment
Edit: Just to avoid confusion there's 2 users on my computer: Administrator and Main. I've tried installing the mod while logged into each account (they're both administrators) but get the same results

Maybe you dont have admin permission is the computer yours? are there other accounts?

The computer is mine. And I've tried every option I can think of short of downloading it with the downloader. I'm trying to avoid doing that because there's no guarantee that it'll work and it says the download would take over an hour
