Important

1. We recommend installing this software into the default location (which is a folder within the user's home folder).
2. In situations where APT must be installed into a common area (such as C:\Program Files), you may need to use an actual Administrator account and not an account that has Administrator privileges or some institution specific configuration of heightened privileges.
3. If you choose to install to this location, please be sure to specify a directory within Program Files e.g. C:\Program Files\APT_21.0.
