Which programs do you need to install as admin?

I'm (re)installing CC3, CC3+, CD, Cosmographer and the latest annual. Trying to install them all as admin (on an account that has admin authority, which I guess makes right-clicking to run as admin silly) gives me issues with symbols. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated :)

    All the programs needs to be run as administrator. (Note that due to UAC, doing the run as admin thing is often required, even if you are logged in as an administrator).
    Also note that especially for CC3, it is important to install them under the same account that will be running the programs afterwards, because it adds user-specific settings to the registry.

    Which issues do you have with symbols?
  • The problem was that they just weren't showing up (black boxes only. In fact, the text in the hints box wasn't there either). When I did run as admin for all of months of the annuals it overwrote the previous install and didn't install it in both the CC3 and CC3+ folders (it's the 2015 annual). I went back and did a reinstall from scratch, running as admin for the non-CC3+ and a standard install with the CC3+ ones and I _think_ it's working. Haven't had a chance to test (kids and wife got home and put an end to my geek-out time :))
