The system administrator has set policies to prevent installation

Im trying to install Steam from the internet to check the Empire: Total War. When I try to download the software from the site, I get the above message. (The system administrator has set policies to prevent installation)

Its my computer personal and to my knowledge, I never put the policies in place. How can I check this?

See you soon,.

Russ

Suggestion:

Turn off User Account Control (UAC).
Try to install.
If it works, please make sure you turn UAC.

Where is the UAC:

Start button > Control Panel > column on the left, select Classic view > user accounts > select user accounts enable or disable > uac prompt > uncheck "use account control...". "

    Is the only program that you experience this problem with?  If Yes can you install the demo version on their website?   You can also right click on the Setup disk file and select "Run as Administrator" and see if that helps.  Let us know the results of these elements.

  • Call of duty Modern Warfare 2 error: the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation.

    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. :)

    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?

  • The installation message of "the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation" get steam.

    I just bought _ 2 who needs steam installed to function. When I try to install steam tells me that the system administrator (me0 has set policies to prevent this installation.) I have no idea of what policy they're talking about or how to change. Can anyone help?

    Hello Nickydwuk.  Well, it's a bit difficult to know exactly what is happening from your description, I assume you're raising steam when he asks?

    If you are uncomfortable with the head on registry:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer

    Check to see if there is a key named DisableMSI.  If there is, and the value 1 to zero.  If this isn't the case, something is blocking the installation.

  • 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.
