Right-click > [Properties] > [Compatibility] tab > select the [Run this program as administrator] check box in [Privilege Level] > click [OK].

The installation is identical to the agent mode, the difference lies in the choice of the service account, which this time must have an Active Directory forest or Workgroup scope.
The MonitorPack solution works with the Windows MonitorPackEngine service.
This is the Windows service account that is declared for the Windows "MonitorPackEngine" service that must have rights, for Agent mode the installation works with the default local system account.
In an Active Directory forest and for Proxy mode only,
the Windows account used for the MonitorPackEngine Windows service must
have local administrator rights on the remote computers. The easiest
way is to use the Domain Administrator account, which is by default
in local administrators' group for all servers or workstations in your
Active Directory forest. You can also create a service account such
as "svc_monitorpack" in your Active Directory forest and integrate this
account into the "built-in group" domain administrator, so you can disable
this account when you stop working. use MonitorPack.
