Getting this "PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied" even I ran the command prompt as administrator

I did pip install zipline and the error I got was

PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied

I did search in here in stackoverflow and it seems that the solution is to run the command prompt as administrator and install it. However, I did that exactly and still got this error. What could be the problem? Many thanks in advance.

For windows, the easiest and best supported way to install zipline is to use Conda.

package manager, which comes as part of Continuum Analytics’ Anaconda distribution.

The primary advantage of using Conda over pip is that conda natively understands the complex binary dependencies of packages like numpy and scipy. This means that conda can install Zipline and its dependencies without requiring the use of a second tool to acquire Zipline’s non-Python dependencies. after installing coda you can use Quantopian and run following command 

conda install -c Quantopian zipline
