I have run into a somewhat ironic problem: I am an admin on my own laptop.
When I install software, I am prompted by UAC for elevation.

Worked fine untill I tried to install MS Standard User Analyzer - no Run as
Administrator on right-click, no prompt to elevate, but it sure fails with
the not authorized message. Anybody has a workaround? As a bonus, anybody
knwos why?



Thanks!

OK, I looked far and wide and did it the long way round:
1) start an elevated command prompt window - thanks to Tim Sneath

2) optional: create shortcut to msi, properties, copy the path
3) msiexec /i <paste or type?!?!?!? the path to the msi file here>

Simple...
