Since when do you need an admin's account to download SM?

Since NEVER.

www.stepmania.com

You should be able to just download from there without any sort of account at all

assholes.
I click on the link to download. I click run. I wait until it's 100% and a message pops up saying "You need an administrator's account to run this download." I've tried about 20 different links coming from different sources, and they all do the same thing. I don't have the administrator account password to my computer so all I'm asking is if there is a way to get the download without logging in as the administator account on my computer.

and if that doesnt work, you better hope you havent pissed everyone who can email you SM off. asshole

that's a setting on your computer, it sounds like.... like you have a user account and someone (parent?) is the administrator on the computer. and you need to have an admin user account on the computer to install programs.

something like that.

I think he's talking about the whole windows administrative account thing. Safe mode it. Restart your computer and mash F8 (or another F key...it depends on the computer). Start in Safemode and go into the admin account. Then change your account to an admin account.

You're an idiot, you need the Admin's account to install it, so different downloads won't do anything.

EDIT: Ninja'd >:O
