Had the same issue recently. In section 10.2 (p. 75) of the GenOpt Manual it is recommended to install it in a different folder, one for which you already have read/write permissions. That would be any folder within your "User" folder, for instance your Documents folder. Then you can just copy the installed GenOpt folder back to "Program Files".
Another (better) way though would be to open an elevated command prompt and run the installation script as Administrator. You can achieve that by typing cmd in the search bar, right-clicking on the CMD icon and selecting "run as administrator". Then you just follow the command line installation instructions from the GenOpt manual.
