Is it possible to modify the message of the first screenshot?
If so, we may add indication how to change the UAC configuration in the control panel dedicated to account management.

For the second error which is not an error ; actually I was not logged as administrator and as a consequence the intaller was not able create files in the Program Files directory.
Anyway, it would be really nice to warn the user at the beginning of the installation about the necessity to run the installer as administrator.

Instead of following message

To disable the UAC feature: \n 1) Launch MSCONFIG by from the Run menu. \n 2) Click on the Tools tab. Scroll down till you find 'Disable UAC' and reboot.

I would prefer something like:

To disable the UAC feature: Go to the User Accounts part in the Control Panel and click on the "Turn User Account Control on or off"
Next, uncheck the "Use User Account" check box

What do you think? The purpose is to appear as easier as possible and do not require any strange configuration ...

Last point, is the ProActive windows agent working if after the installation, I reactivate the UAC feature?
I have tried it and I have a half success, the agent service started and is able to receive jobs but I cannot anymore start the ProActive Agent Control.

The printed message contains the "\n" instead of an actual new line
