Over-ride Administrative Policy

Posted: 03-13-2007, 06:03 PM
I have Windows Vista Premium and am working on a SINGLE machine. When I try
to install certain programs (I-tunes 7.1 and Windows Mobile Device Center 6
for Windows Vista), I get an error message:

"The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation".

Yet:
- I am the system administrator
- and there's no option to enter password to give permission.

Suggestions?

In Vista, even an administrator account runs with standard user privileges
until a program asks for administrator elevation. The programs you are
installing have not been updated for Vista.

You can force the issue by right clicking the installation file and
selecting the Run as Administrator option in the context menu.

I am trying to install Windows Movie Maker 2.6 for Vista and get the same
message, but when I right click on the install file, I don't see an option to
override.

I have had the same exact problem with the new itunes 7.1.1 and 'run as
admin' does not help. I have tried too many things to list with no avail.
Can anyone help?

If anyone is interested I found out that in windows home premium, secpol.msc,
is not available, therefore you have to go through the command prompt to open
the 'real' administrator account. Once I did this my 2 week problem was
solved.

Yes, well, my issue is with Powerdvd. It won't let me install v 7.03, because
it says I don't have administrative permission on my computer. I changed the
settings, i think, like previously suggested, but now it won't go further
than entering my password. Once I enter the password, it won't let me go any
further, just gives that same error. I would right-click the option to enter
the password, but when I do so, right clicking shows no options. So, how can
I change my settings or whatever to enable the usage of powerdvd?

YOU BET I'M (among a multitude) INTERESTED.

Jaxsen, your message very enticing -- and equally unenlightening! For those
of us less experienced, please advice precise path after the (black) screen
appears with all the mumbo-jombo. What then?

Thank you. Cordially,

You replied to a very old thread that did not contain a lot of information.

What exactly is the problem you are experiencing and what would you like to
accomplish?

Thank you, Vernon. Prompt reply appreciated.

What I am trying to accomplish is where/how/when Administrator (that's me)
policies were set and equally, how/where to change them.

As you know, there's a multitude of group members experiencing the same
problem over an extended period. All sorts of responses, but not one answers
the question. Put aside UAC off/on, a workaround sometimes but not always
helpful,and dangerous to boot.

Cordially,
