Failed configuring Portal Server. can't run cacaoadm.bat

Question

Hi,
I am trying to install Sun Java ES5 (2006Q4) on window XP. The configuration for portal server was failed. When I checked the logs, it complains cacao default instance was disabled and couldn't started. I went to the the directory and tried to manually run cacaoadm command. It returns:
C:\Sun\JavaES5\share\cacao_2\bin>cacaoadm.bat enable
This action cannot be performed by a non privileged user.
I logged on to the windows as a user who is in the administrators group. Any other components installations were fine. I really have no idea how to solve this problem as there is no user account as administrator. Can someone please help?
The portal config error from the log are as following:

Hi Deepak,
Thanks for the post.
Use cacaoadm restar gives me the same error.
I found out that is a limitation for the windows version I am using. Basically, the account for installation and configuration has to be an local administrator not in network.
Cheers,
Tara
