When I run the installer on Windows I receive error "Unable to find a volume for file extraction.  Please verify that you have proper permissions." How can I resolve this?

This error indicates that you do not have the proper system permissions for the installer to extract and run. You may be able to right-click the installer and selecting "Run as Administrator" to resolve this issue.
If you do not have administrative privileges on your machine you will need to work with your IT staff to resolve this issue.
