Warcraft 3 installation problem

[Ex8roS]

i try to install warcraft 3 reign of chaos on my laptop where i use windows vista but when the installation almost ends and says "creating shortcuts" (or something) there is an error which says " Setup was unable to create the following directory C\users\....
Error 0x0000007B.....
(C\temp\020606lockit\Installer\Source\DiscUndo.cpp:471)

Operation Aborted"

i have the original cd and i play the game normaly on my old desktop on windows xp

Make sure that you are logged into Windows Vista with the Administrative Account. You will need the Administrators rights in order to complete the installation.

no admin rights is definately not my problem

maybe u can at least tell me what is this?

i think i have found the problem: i tried to install win rar which i had downloaded and saved at C:/Users/??????/Downloads
and then this message is shown at the installation screen :

Cannot open C:\Users\??????\Downloads\wrar371.exe

so i think thats the same problem with warcraft
so the question is: how do i permit my programs to open and save at this directory (C:\Users\??????\)

i already tried : Right click on Users Folder and properties then Security and from there to permete Everyone to Open and Write in this folder but it denies and i did all this as admin so....
