So, I switched computers and when I install roblox I get this message: An error occurred while starting ROBLOX Player. Details: Failed to create directory 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Roblox\', error = 5 Help?

Nevermind, figured out what's wrong. It's a access denied error triggered by roblox creating the directory and for me not being on the administrator user.

Basically install it and when it brings up the error close it off then go to your Downloads folder and right click the RobloxPlayerLauncher.exe and click properties click the Compatibility tab and make sure the box is checked for run as Administrator then click Apply then Ok.
