`Error: unable to perform install command, not executed with Administrator permissions`

I've tried to add an Agent onto what will be my "Victim Machine" I'm doing this with the Kali Purple instance in a virtual environment. I manged to install the fleet to my Kali Purple just fine. It just spits out that error message everytime I try do the same on windows.

Welcome!

Please don't post images of text as they are hard to read, may not display correctly for everyone, and are not searchable.

Instead, paste the text and format it with `</>` icon or pairs of triple backticks (```), and check the preview window to make sure it's properly formatted before posting it. This makes it more likely that your question will receive a useful answer.

It would be great if you could update your post to solve this.
