system administrator policies prevent installation

New to Vista, and I get an installer error that states "The system
administrator has set policies to prevent this installation". How do I
change policies to allow installation of other software?

Hello,

- What edition of Vista are you using?
- Are you joined to a domain?

Re: system administrator policies prevent installation

I am running Vista Home Premium, not joined to a domain.

I since have found out that if I go to users in the control panel and then
deactivate User Account Control, the issue disappears.

Thanks for your questions.

Re: system administrator policies prevent installation


Hi I am trying to load Dragon naturally speaking 10 onto Vista home
premium and get the message The administrator has set policies to
prevent this installation.
I am the administrator, I have switches off U.A.C. and there is no
setup.exe on the program. This is because there are some prerequisits to
load first. You can use run as administrator to run the prerequisits but
the main program will not follow on and load afterwards.

Have you got any ideas please

Regards
Nigel
