Why do I get warnings when I install V-Realm Editor in MATLAB 7.10 (R2010a) on a Windows 7 machine?

I install V-Realm using the following command at the MATLAB command prompt on a Windows 7 machine.

vrinstall -install editor

I get the following warning message on executing the above command

 Warning:  Cannot create V-Realm Builder preferences file.   Object libraries may not be available.

 >In vrinstall at 190

This also limits access of 3-D Objects Library in V-Realm Builder 2.0 to only those in the “General Purpose” category. I am wondering how can I get access to all of the 3-D objects built into V-Realm Builder’s Objects Library.
