Next button not working while trying to install oracle 21c express edition

User_BVKBN

I downloaded oracle 21c and proceeded to the installation after unzipping the files. I have been following the prompt till I got to this stage. I have tried restarting my system so many times, checked the env paths to make sure there is no trace of oracle in my system, but I still can't get pass this stage.

Your screenshot indicates that you are not a direct member of the Administrators group. Please read:

The current user must be a direct member of the Administrators group. Indirect membership of the Administrators group (e.g. when a user is a member of a group and that group is a member of Administrators), or running the installer "as administrator" is not sufficent. If you are logged in as a domain user, make sure you are on a network that can reach the domain server. For example, if you must use a VPN to reach your domain server, make sure to enable your VPN before beginning the installation. If you cannot connect to a network that can reach the domain server, you can instead create a local user and add that user to the local Administrators group. Then you can log in and install as that local user.
