It's not even necessary to be logged in as an admin. All you have to do is click the "Authenticate" button in the dialog that tells you that Applications can't be modified, and then you enter a valid administrator username and password.

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!
