PyTesseract - installation issue

while trying to get my script to run, I am having issues with Pytesseract. I have installed through pip and installed the exe file. However, when trying to run following simplified code:

import pytesseract

pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = r'C:\Program Files (x86)\Tesseract-OCR\tesseract.exe'
text = pytesseract.image_to_string(rotated_image)

I am constantly plagued by following error code:

OSError: [WinError 740] The requested operation requires elevation

I have admin rights over my laptop but am not the main account. Any help would be much appreciated.

I can just use this code to use tesseract without setting the path.

import pytesseract

result = pytesseract.image_to_string("./important/aaa.jpg")
print(result)

Because I add tesseract folder to System PATH.

You have installed tesseract in your C:\Program Files (x86).This directory can not be access easily without Administrator permission.

So now,If you don't want to run this code as Administrator,you can just

add the folder of tesseract to your system PATH.

Did you get it?

Run the terminal or the IDE as administrator.

enter image description here

Then the error about OSError: [WinError 740] The requested operation requires elevation should be gone.
