[Gretl-users] Re: Installation failed
Hi Allin,
Thank you so much for your reply.
As you suggested, Yes, in a new admin account I could install Gretl. But I am using my
work computer and I have some restrictions and problem using Gretl in a different login
for my online teaching while most of my other apps are restricted to my old account only.
Please let me know if there is a way that I can install Gretl in my old admin account.
Much appreciate all your assistance
Thanks again,
Regards,
