Hello @OMF-SC

You are out of luck if administrator is not your friend.  Did IT department install SoapUI for you?  If it was installed for you, then you are probably really out of luck... Windows does not like non-administrators messing with C:\Program Files.

If you were the one who installed SoapUI, you have control on where to install it since it is a prompt during installation.  Do not install it in C:\Program Files...  Try some other location that is: 1) On a different drive than 'C' if available.

2) Not in a 'Program Files' folder.

i.e.  D:\Apps\SmartBear\SoapUI-5.7.2

Getting away from administrator (and Microsoft controlled) location should allow you to move files easier (i hope)  :)

Regards,

Todd
