Error reading setup initialization file

Due to Windows permissions, you may see an error message after attempting to run the setup application saying: "Error reading setup initialization file". To install TopView, right click on the setup application and select "Run As Administrator". As of TopView version 6.28, this is no longer an issue as the setup installer will automatically elevate its process.
