I would have to clobber my existing installation with the other Administrator? Is it worth it? should I?

Re-installing WinSCP does not break anything.

Can you reproduce the problem?

Re: Setup can't create "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP"

When you run the installer, do you get a "User Account Control" popup?

Setup can't create "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP"

Win 8.x platform:
WinSCP 5.7.4 became unstable - frequent re-connections required.
Decided to upgrade to v. 5.7.5.
First attempt failed with the following ==>
---------------------------

Setup - WinSCP
---------------------------
Setup was unable to create the directory "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP".
Error 5: Access is denied.
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

Deleted the 5.7.4. with the control panel, hoping for a clean install ==> the same results.

What is the solution?

Thanks!
