Probably because you do not have administrator rights.

Just account? this is not enough. You need to run the application at elevated privileges.

Please see my comment to the question. If you use just the administrative account, this is not enough. You also need to use the elevation of the privileges. Please see:

Also, you can request the elevation right in your application, from the very beginning. In this case, you need to add and embed appropriate application manifest:
