Python selenium lib not installing on windows

Trying to install Selenium's python library on a windows 7 computer:

I got this:

WindowsError: [Error 5] Access is denied: 'C:\\Windows\\System32\\build'

Well, this line says that you don't have access to C:\Windows\System32\. That usually occurs you're not an administrator.

Try running pip from the administrator account:

1. Press the Windows Logo Thing (technical name for it).
2. Type in "cmd".
3. Right-click "cmd.exe" and click "Run as administrator".
4. Bear with UAC.
5. Now try running pip.

Install from a directory that you have access to:

pushd %USERPROFILE%
pip install selenium

Alternatively, you may get the pre-built package via PyPM.
