Over-ride Administrative Policy

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,
