Is there something wrong with mids?

Hello. When I attempt to download mids hero/villain designer, when I try to install, It says "Error opening file for writing:" "C:\Program Files\Titan Network\Mids Hero Designer\Hero Designer.exe"

Click to Abort to stop the installation,
Retry to try again, or
Ignore to skip this file.

I have tried Retry and it just shows the exact same screen without doing anything.
Any Tips?

Are you running Windows 7? Try right clicking and run as Admin.

Are you running Vista or Windows 7? If so try using the "Run as Administrator" option for installing it (right-click on the icon and pick Run as Administrator from the list).

Meh... You were much more eloquent and thorough.

But, your avatar-picture-thingy is appropriate as a response to Carnifax's comment (which was, "Damn. Beaten. You win this round SinisterDirge but the battle isn't over!")


There I was between a rock and a hard place. Then I thought, "What am I doing on this side of the rock?"

Uhhh where is run as administrator? My account is the only account on the computer, I am already Administrator. I use Windows Vista, according to the sticker on my computer.

Yep. I'm also the sole user and "Administrator" on my machine with Windows Vista and it also didn't work right until I right clicked on the Mids icon and specifically told it to "Run as Administrator" (the 3rd choice down after right clicking, at least on my machine)

Edit: to add in 'on the Mids icon'

see my edit rereading it thru my own not so tech savvy eyes I realized neither I or or several other posters indicated what icon to be clicking on. Obvious to us not necessarily so obvious to someone else.

Download the file. Open the folder where the file is. Right click the file icon. Run as administrator.
