Vista - Can't install Symantec Antivirus 10.5.5000 on Vista Ultimate

04-06-2008

I'm trying to install a network version of the Symantec Antivirus client on
my work machine with Vista Ulitmate SP1 and it says I need Administrator
privileges and my account has workstation administrator permissions on the
domain and I have domain admin permissions on the network and still can't
install it.

I also logged in as the built in administrator account locally the machine
and it says the same administrator error when I try installing.

Disable the UAC.

I tried that previously and that didn't work but I found a Symantec article
on how to manually uninstall 10.1.5000 and I deleted about 30-40 registry
keys and the program files so I have it working. Thanks for responding.
