Downloaded the 4.0.1 patch and has everything working. Today I bought the Burning Crusade upgrade and tried to install into my machine. It complains

----
Launcher requires write permission to the Wow Registry key to successfully locate and run the game. Please enable write access to the Registry key using an administrator account
----

I've tried right click to run as administrator and it doesn't work. Tried creating new acct with administrator right - doesn't work .. does not even work when i login as an administrator.

Help !!!
