Hello emc8
Try to use the Microsoft FixIt tool to uninstall applications. Microsoft FixIt can help when programs do not want to install or uninstall.
1. download from the link below and run it. (Note for each program, you will need to rerun the Microsoft FixIt tool)
2. asked about if you want to choose options or run automatically, choose "automatically".
3. the next thing he'll ask is if the problem you are having with the install or uninstall. Select uninstall.
4 Microsoft FixIt will then list all the programs currently installed, and you can select the one you want to uninstall. Start with what ever you prefer.
5. it should then proceed to uninstall the program. If you get the same message of error or an other error message / let me know.

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...". "

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.

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. :)

You can temporary disable the antivirus and check.

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?
