Change permission in directory or file?

I am running a steup progam and it gets permission denied.

How do I give access to a file or directory?

example:
C:\Program Files\Haskell\

You use Explore, you go to the file, right-click it, Properties user the
Security tab, if you don't see the Security tab, the look at the information
in the link.

You need to add a second account, which will be your account you are logged
in with, even if you are Admin on the machine. If seecorp is the userid
you're using at login, they you're going to add that account by using the
Edit, Add, enter the user-id, and using the checkname button. If the ID you
entered is underlined, then it's ok. Then give that account Full access.

Rightclick the setup file, and click 'run as Administrator'

Execute the commands one by one under CMD run as Admin
