failure to load the software

Hello. I have been running Boinc software for ages, and am keen to continue to help. I have recently changed computers, and my new computer runs windows 8. Every time I try to download the software, it loads so far and then says: "failed to add user to the boinc_admins group (Boinc master)," and then refuses to continue to load. Can anyone tell me how I get past this and continue to make a contribution to this vital work?

Re: failure to load the software

For Windows 8 you need to run Boinc Manager 7.0.28 or later. 7.0.64 is a good one.
