Cannot install new programs as "system administrator has set policies to prevent Installation.
It comes to my computer at home, not on any network. More and more, I get this error message. There must be an easy fix. Hope someone can show me the way... Thank you... Marv
Hi MarvReinke
1. you are the administrator of the computer?
2 do you have standard user permissions to install programs?
It seems that this administrator has blocked installation of programs on the computer. (UAC) user account controls have been set accordingly. If you are the computer administrator, you can try to connect as an administrator and see if you can install the programs correctly. You can also try to change UAC settings to solve the problem.
You can check the links below for more information-

I hope this helps.

I just want to know if someone know a method that works and allows you to install a program in safe mode? I'm running following error message when you try to install an application of msi in safe mode:
"The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation.
and the event log contains the following event log. Please note that I am not interested in discussing questions about the installation in normal mode. I would like to know if there is any way to do this in safe mode only. I edited the registry to activate the MSIServer installer of Windows start in SafeMode with networking and also entered the local->-> application Software Restriction policies and checked security settings all users except administrators is enabled. Always make the same mistake.

Windows Setup does not load in safe mode, that's why you get the error probably. Why are you installing in safe mode? Why not normal mode?

I have Windows Vista.
When you try to install COD MW2 disc, I get the following message is displayed:
The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation.
Then it continues with the installation of the first disc perfectly, but the problem occurs with the second disc. When you are prompted to enter the second drive I do and he doesn't recognize. The drive doesn't look like it runs as if it is scanned intermittently. STEAM will freeze and (no response) as well as menu my computer and the DVD disk drive. So far, I can't find any solution to my problem.
I had the game earlier on the same pc but had to uninstall STEAM temporarily.
Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.
Thank you for your response. However I can't find the "local security policy" in administrative tools. Not sure if it's because of Vista.
However I managed to the second drive yesterday after many many attempts. It seemed to work when I changed the AutoPlay settings to open the folder and view the files. I have no idea why, but he was able to read the disc in this way, after a few attempts.
Thanks anyway. :)
