If you're installing on your own computer, you already have the correct permissions to install software so you can skip this step.

If you want to run the product in another language, find out whether you need a language pack. (Check your product-specific installation help.) Some products, such as AutoCAD, let you choose a language from a drop-down menu in the installer. Other products, such as Inventor, require you to install a language pack. It’s best to install a language pack before you install your product.
If you have a boxed product (DVD or USB key), find the language packs on the physical media.
