Can not install or save the file to the Program Files folder

Just got a new laptop with Windows 7 64-bit and 32-bit computer.  When downloading from internet programs or the installation of the CD, it won't let me save in either the Program Files folder.  (I like to keep things organized and in one place, so I would like to save all my programs it).   When I try to register there, an error message appears and says "you don't have permission to save in this location.  Contact the administrator to back up to this location.  You want to save in the case of Cheryl instead? »

I am the only user on the laptop and, therefore, the administrator.   It upset me enough that there are already files Program Files (2).  Not being not able to save the rest of my programs it makes me crazy.  Help, please!

Well first off your laptop will be either using win7 64 bit or win7 32 bit, it cannot use both, and since you're talking about 2 files Program Files then this would indicate the 64-bit version of victory

If its 64-bit version of victory, the 32-bit programs install in the Program files (x 86) and 64-bit programs installed in the Program Files folder.

Trying to force programs to be installed in the wrong folder will save issues, and may result in this program does not work.

So no, you cannot install to a specific folder in Program Files
