Vista - "The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation" when uninstalling

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to uninstall one of my applications (Vmware Player in this case)
but keep getting "The system administrator has set policies to prevent this
installation" errors. What do I have to do? I am logged on as an
administrator.

Regards,
Marcus

Right click on the uninstall file and choose Run as Administrator. If it
doesn't have its own uninstall utility, Add/remove programs should ask for
higher privileges.

It doesn't have an uninstall utility and Add/Remove programs aka "Programs
and Features" doesn't ask for higher privileges.
