Unable to install some software, error refers to pilicies preventi

Default Unable to install some software, error refers to pilicies preventi

Since setting up this new Vista 64 Ultimate PC I have run into a few problems.

Although I am able to install most software, there are two programs that
won't install and complain that the Administrator has set policies that
prevent installation. I know a workaround, but as this is my PC and I am the
only user I'd like to change the policies so that I can install what I want.
The two programs so far are Weatherbug and Itunes 64 bit. Everything else
installs without complaint but I'm afraid more software down the road wil not
install.

Online searching provided the workaround but not the cure.

Hi Greg

You might try using Compatibilty mode with "Run as administrator" on i
to see if it helps. You can see how to in this tutorial if needed

Thank you for the suggestion, I am really looking for how to change the
policies that no one ever actually set (I'm the admin). I have a workaround
that works, but I should be able to fix the problem pemanently.
