• "You must be logged in as an administrator to install this program" error when I AM logged on as administrator. possible problem with TrustedInstaller security

  I am logged in as administrator on the single computer.  I try to install Net Nanny, which claims to be compatible Windows 7.
  The first time I tried to install it I got the error, simply, 'access denied '.  After several attempts with the same error, I rebooted in Mode safe mode with network and then got the error that the Windows Installer Service is not accessible.  After some research, I discovered that Windows Installer is not available in safe mode.
  So I booted in Normal mode.  Logged as administrator.  Tried to click with the right button on the installer downloaded for Net Nanny and ran as administrator, the connection of the administrator.  Now I get the error, "You must be logged in as administrator to install this program."  I am.
  I closed all firewalls, anti-virus software AND turn off the UAC.  I checked the compatibility AND security for the download tab and it is configured to run as administrator and I tried to run in several modes of compatibility.  I still don't "You must be logged in as administrator to install this program."  No matter what I try, I still get this error.
  I used the command prompt, type msiexec.exe / unregister, and then msiexec/regserver.  No new results.  Still the same error.

  I called Net Nanny press SEVERAL times and they will know that this is a Windows problem, because this is the first time that they already got this error.  They had me to download another file on a mirror site.  Not always the same error.  People what I'm doing wrong?  I was able to successfully install other software.  Thanks for any help!

  UPDATE * I am researching always this.  This would be a TrustedInstaller security problem?  If this is the case, is it possible to fix the TrustedInstaller or turn it off?  The big question, is that I want to turn it off?  My first thought is 'no '.  However, this software is listed on the Microsoft site as being compatible with Windows 7.  Therefore, an application that is 3rd party that is accepted by Microsoft.  Wow, I'm confused.  Don't know what to do here.

  Hello carpetfresh,

  A test, I temporarily disable user account control and then see if you can install Net Nanny. If so, we know that UAC is what is causing the problem with the installation.

  1. access control panel user to the Start Menu-> Control Panel-> user accounts and of security for the family-> user account

  2. click on the settings of the user account controll link.

  3. move the slider to never notify

  4. click OK for the changes to take effect

  5 reset.

  Once you have correctly installed the Net Nanny, then back to the control panel and reactivate the UAC.

  Answer please come back and let us know.

  Sincerely,

• XP administrator cannot install new programs

  When I try to install a program I get an error

  "You must be logged in as an administrator to install this program."

  I am the only user of XP Home and am registered as an administrator of the computer. I used system restore to go back to a time when this error does not appear, but after the restoration of the system, I got the same error message. I created a new account with administrative privileges with the same error. SafeMode worked OK. I used regedit to verify permissions, and they indicate that I have administrator privileges.

  I ran SFC and tested the equipment without any problem. I finally realized I had saved the registry with ERDN every day so I went back at the same time (more than four weeks ago) where the problem has not produced and found that the problem started after I had installed and then uninstalled Comodo firewall but had never removed from my computer. I used Revo uninstaller uninstall, restarted the computer and the problem disappeared.

  Thank you very much for your help!

  By connecting to facebook lately (in the usual help of the login page for the Canada facebook or facebook.com), opens the usual page, but then a dialog box appears stating "you must be logged" which also provides form for email and password boxes. It seems that my login pages are redirected as I'm stuck using the original page to connect.

• MSCONFIG - access denied, must be logged on as administrator

  When I run MSCONFIG, I get a message "Access denied, must be logged on as administrator to make changes" when I get out of it.  If I make a change, the change takes effect, so this isn't really "deny" me anything.  However, I get the message if I make a change or not.  By doing a few google' ing/forum tedious reading, it seems that there is a cut with Windows XP and Norton Internet Security 2010/2011.  It apparently does not on Windows 7 or Vista, or with NIS 2009.  It prevents me from doing anything, it's just a major nuisance.  I would like to check if this is the issue I'm having.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

• Please log on as an administrator, and then try again

  I get this message on several programs that I am trying to install on my new laptop running Windows 7. One of them is Dell Support Center. It will not be implemented, and I get the message 'Please log in as an administrator and try again'. I AM connected with administrator privileges.

  Personally I do not recommend the use of the Dell Support Center. It is buggy and intrusive and not particularly useful. You'd better uninstall applet programs & features in Control Panel. Since you didn't say what the other program, I can't help you more specifically. Maybe it is not compatible with Windows 7, or you have to right click on its (often called something like setup.exe) Setup program and choose "Run as Administrator". With regard to your created username, please see below for you save some future aggravation.

  General recommendations for creating users in Windows 7:

  You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. Like XP, Vista and all the other modern operating systems, Windows 7 is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

  In particular, you do not want account only one user with administrator privileges in Windows 7 because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult.  It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but there may be more that you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.

  The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

  If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

• Error message saying to log on as an administrator, while I am logged on as administrator

  I use Win 7 Pro. I recently ran into a strange situation, in which case I use an administrator log - on, and try to install a program (this has happened at least with 3 programs). Middle of the installation, the computer says I don't have enough privileges and must log on as an administrator - even if I'm already. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

  I suspect that your application tries to do things that are not allowed in Windows 7, for example by creating files at the root of the system partition. I would check the FAQ of the application issue.

• Need permission to administrators when logged in as an administrator to delete a file in Windows 8

  I have a laptop Windows 8, which I shared with my daughter. We had separate user accounts. Mine was an administrator account, hers was not the case. I recently bought him his own laptop and tried to delete his account on my laptop. I did it by going to user accounts in Control Panel and remove it. The delete process has worked but left his user account folder (c:\users\account_name). I tried to remove it, but I was told that I needed permission from administrators to exercise this function, even if mine was an administrator account. I followed the instructions of kb2623670 and that did not help. I noticed that the file was marked read-only. When I tried to deselect, told me I need administrator privileges to change the attribute. I clicked on OK to confirm and received a message saying:

  An error occurred applying attributes to the file:

  \AppData\Roaming\...\Librariesaccount_nameC:\Users\

  Access is denied.

  I then logged in as an administrator and tried to delete the file and got the same result. On the Security tab, I noticed that administrator and administrators (Group) have been listed separately, and this one was the owner of the folder. Then, I clicked on the Advanced button and changed the owner of the Administrators group on the administrator account just to confirm that this was not the issue. I tried to delete that file, and again did not. Then I navigated to the subfolder of low level libraries and tried to change the read-only attribute. I got the same error. I then clicked on the Security tab and saw 'you must have read permissions to view the properties of this object. Click Advanced to continue. "I clicked on the button advanced and got"you must have read permissions to view the properties of this object. Click on continue to retry the operation with administrative permissions. "I click on the button continue and got"you don't have permission to view the security properties of this object, even as an administrator. To try to take possession of the object, which includes permission to view its properties, click on change above. "There is no change button. There are only 3 tabs: permissions (which displays the message that I have just mentioned), sharing and effective access (which contains the same message on the permissions tab). I went to the user_name folder and in the advanced security properties selected the option "replace all entries authorization child object with entries permissions inheritable of this object." When I clicked on apply and then Yes on the confirmation message after, I got an error that says "could not enumerate the objects in the container. Access is denied. »

  Is it possible to remove this folder, or even as an administrator there are things we can not do in Windows 8?

  Hello

  You can deal with this problem because of changes in the Windows authorization by virus or by a third party antivirus.  Follow these methods and check:

  Method 1: You can try to disable user account control, follow these steps:

  1. open user accounts by pressing the Windows key + X, clicking Control Panel, click user accounts and family safety, and then clicking user accounts.

  2. click on Turn User Account Control on or off. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  3. Select the use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer check box to turn on UAC, or clear the checkbox to disable UAC, and then click OK.

  Warning: User Account Control (UAC) can help prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. It works by asking permission when a task requires administrative rights, such as installing software or changing settings affecting other users. We do not recommend disable user account control. If you turn it off, you must reactivate as soon as possible.

  Method 2: Because of the additional security mechanism 8 Windows, you might face this problem of permission. So if you need to access, appropriate drive and assign rights or permission to drive.

  Method 3: I suggest you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software. The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
