Apparent Issue with Administrator Privileges

[Thomas Passin]

Looking at the ChemPlugin site, it looks like by default it would 
install into "C:\Program Files".  Typically ordinary users do not have 
full privileges there, although they may have read privileges. If this 
is the case, either you would need to run it in an elevated 
(adminstrator) session, or try to reinstall it somewhere you do have 
privileges.  You probably need to have write privileges too, since 
Python will try to write its compiled files into the same tree (but 
these files may have been created during installation so possibly not an 
issue).  Re-installing it might require moving the license as well.

Note that I have never used this product, so I don't have any personal 
experience about it to call on.

The program is called ChemPlugin and I am attempting to run it using Python 3.10.8 on Windows. I can't seem to get Python to recognize the PYTHONPATH that points to the ChemPlugin\src. I have to download ChemPlugin using my administrator login name, but  Python is loaded to my local user profile. I can't seem to bridge the gap.
