  • "The administrator system has set policies to prevent this installation" error install Steam .msi program

    Hi, I am trying to install the Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/about/) software, and I can't seem to. The steam program is an .msi file, and unlike the programs .exe, when I click right there is no option to 'run as administrator '.

    According to the instructions I connected as the 'administrator' on my computer (it's one PC at home to the unique user ID is the ID of the admin), but every time I try to install it it stops with this message: "the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation. I am running Vista.

    I tried Googling this issue, there seems to be a common problem for some, however, it doesn't seem to be a single solution (which does not require a degree in rocket science). I'm quite honestly only a basic computer user (I say this so you don't expect me to know how to get into the registry or anything exotic like that), so if you could help with instructions on how to fix this it would be much appreciated.

    By suggestion of Steam, I have updated my Microsoft Installer (4.5). This did not help.

    Thank you very much.

    Ah, I did it - did not work. The error message is actually a bit of a herring - turns out he can appear for a variety of reasons.

    Turns out that my gut wasn't about it being a registry problem... the MS Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable entries had broken somehow, preventing the installation of all instances of the same Windows install. Of course, most installers begin with MSVC Redist installation, that's why they were all fail. Fortunately, I didn't have to change the registry manually.

    I found a program on the Microsoft Download Center for help. Don't remember that actually was called but it is mainly to fix broken installations of MS Office (when they go to halfway, so there are entries in the registry, but the installation has not actually finished... so that windows will not let you install or uninstall). There just uninstall things correctly and released their registry keys. I zapped the entrance MSVC 2005 that has been there all my installers started working again!

    Fantastic.

    So yes, by sorry, that's probably all really confusing... was actually broken registry ultimately. Fixed by Googling for a few days. :)

    How can I uninstall without the system administrator has set policies

    Hi Telowe,

    1 are logged as administrator?

    2. you have more than one administrator account on your computer?

    3. what application you are trying to uninstall?

    4. this happens only with a specific application?

    Method 1:

    You can try disabling UAC and check if you are able to uninstall the program. Try the instructions in the following article to disable UAC.
    Enable or disable the User Account Control

    Note: We do not recommend disable user account control. If you turn it off, you must reactivate as soon as possible.

    Method 2:

    You can temporarily disable a security software and firewall installed on the system and check if the problem persists.

    Note: Be sure to enable the security software on the computer after checking.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • 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.
