- Click on the Start menu and search for “cmd”.
- Right-click on the Command Prompt item and choose “Run as administrator”.
- In the command prompt, navigate to the location of the installer file, for example, “cd C:\Users\testmachine\Desktop\StreamHost-win10-x64”

- The application will now open with administrative rights.
