XP: Restrict users to install programs, but allow users to update

Hello

How can I, as an administrator, set up Windows XP as a user cannot install a program, but a user can install an update.   For example, a user would be forbidden to install Adobe Acrobat.  But once installed by the administrator, the user can install the updates later.

Thank you

If it comes to only Adobe Acrobat it not there no available for this group policy.
Other functions of Windows, use the Group Policy Editor.

  • Folder "Programs and features" shows the installed program, but is blank when the file size must be listed.

    Original title: what does it mean when you have a program installed, but when you open the folder "Programs and features" it shows the program installed but remains empty where should be the size of the file?

    Shows information for the installed program, including the NAME, PUBLISHER, & INSTALLED ON (DATE), but under the info column of SIZE empty sound while 98% of all my installed programs show how much KB or MB "and specific program installed. Seems to lack the SIZE info only on any one of my Adobe programs and a few select other random programs?

    Hi AlinaSporl,

    The size information is reported by the uninstaller for each program component. A program of uninstalling programs will not report this value, so the size of the program does not appear in this list.

    Another way to get a close estimate of the total size for an individual program is to check the properties of this installation of programs parent folder in C:\Program Files.

    You can read the following article and check:

    How add/remove programs is the size and other information?

    Let me take you, you are under Windows XP SP3. If true, and only if it is true, the following might help you resolve the issue (which is common for all updates kernel on Windows XP computers):

    KB2393802 (MS11-011) is an update of the kernel, and since these are released for Windows XP, MS is not those to install properly for years as soon as it is an OEM System (with OEM drivers) installed on which these kind of updates must be installed on.

    To get these updates for Windows XP is installed correctly on these systems, you will need to download the update from download area:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=a511d33a-9ae0-46EE-A225-9d97390de7d1
    * Save * the file in a folder and run the EXE file with the parameter "/ o" (like "/ overwriteOEM"-seehttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/262841/en-us for more details on that and other parameters) subsequently.

    Suppose you downloaded the English version of KB2393802 in a "Downloads" folder that is located on your C: drive. In this case, please restart Windows Mode safe mode (hit the [F8] key after the BIOS screen occurred while starting your machine). Then enter the following information * including * all blanks and the signs of the quote in "Run" in the start menu and press [Enter] or click OK, then:

    'C:\Downloads\WindowsXP-KB2393802-x86-ENU.exe' / o

    After restarting Windows, the update should not be reaffirmed by WU/AU once again - at least after you visited Windows Update via IE and looked for new updates once more.

  • restored computer thinks I have installed programs, but they are not

    I had to wipe my hard drive to the Mac and to restore from my Time Machine backup because of the problems I had. Even if I restored it Time machine, my adobe applications have been installed on my computer. I'm about a week into a one month trial membership. I went online and reinstalled Adobe Application Manager. That is to say my programs are up to date, but they are no where on my computer. It won't let me not re - download from the internet either.

  • I get an error, the "restricted user" when I try to install a program on the administrator account.

    Original title: usuario restrito

    I have two users in my laptop. The two are of me. One is administrator, and the second is a standard user. I set it up like this for more security.

    This week I had issues with Real Player, it took too long to open, modify and restore the db. I deleted his PB and it was always damaged for some reason any. So, I decided to remove the real player and do a fresh install.
    But I could ' t because I get a message that I am a user 'restricted' (usuario restrito) and need to seek special privileges to the system administrator.
    Then, I installed Real Player successfully to the administrator account. And it works. But I can't access it from my normal user account.
    So I have two questions:
    1. How can I install the software in the standard account (overcoming the "restricted" user).

    OR

    2. How can I use the Real Player software installed in my standard account administrator account?


    You can allow ordinary users to perform installations by disabling UAC. Not recommended!

    Sorry, I can't tell you what the problem is when you run RealPlayer as a standard user. Your report "But I can not access it from my regular user account" is too vague to draw conclusions.
    You write "I have two users in my laptop. One is administrator. ' It is a very risky way of running Windows. If your machine develops a problem with your account only admin and then you are in a diabolical situation. Happens all the time... At any time, you must have a spare fully tested and documented, even admin account that you have a spare House key (so that you don't break a window in the case where he lead astray you).
