If its saying you need to be a admin to install either you are using a acount that is a standard user, or if there is only one account on the system you have a virus/infection. If its brand new and hasn't been used much or has nothing on it the best advice is to restore back to factory settings.

A temporary solution would be use hotmail to create word, excel, powerpoint etc. (microsoft)
Or could try openoffice but a bit more fiddlier with compatability etc.0 -
How are you trying to install it? From a file?
If so, right click the file and Run As Administrator0
