"you do not have sufficient privileges to complete this installation" Win10 home .msi

[Sparta6]

Hi All,

 

Have a windows 10 home edition machine trying to install smart notebook 11.4 and coming up with this error.

 

"you do not have sufficient privileges to complete this installation for all users of the machine. Logon as a administrator and then retry the installation"

 

The machine is not part of a domain or workgroup and the file is a .msi file . The machine only has one user account on it with admin rights when i right click there is no run as administrator option and create a shortcut and then go into properties then run as admininistrator section is greyed out.

 

anyone any ideas?

 

Thanks is advance

 

Danny

Can you open a command prompt as an administrator? If so, do so and type the following:

 

msiexec /i (path to MSI file)

 

It will then execute the MSI using the elevated credential.

Now saying the wizard was interrupted before could be completely installed once it trys to install the software?

Is the AV killing part of the installer?

We have this smart notebook on our domain.

 

I added a reg fix to add "Run as Administrator" on an .MSI's right click.

 

Works a treat with Smart Notebook install.

I am having the exact same issue when deploying smartnotebook 11.4 to windows 10 machines. Get the same errors as you as well.

Have you got a link to it?

I had this, copy the whole folder to local drive (mapped/unc wont work as drives/credentials not passed through) then run cmd as admin and put msi name in, dont need msiexec infront. if you havent got shortcut to cmd, so cant right click on it, run cmd as normal user and enter "runas /user:administrator cmd" this will ask you for local admin password then give you administrator cmd window.

Had the same thing, copy the files locally and it should work.

I had the same problem. Create a local administrator account - the simplest way is elevated CMD and type: net user administrator /active:yes

then type:

net user administrator password (where the password is the password of your choice)

 

Then logon local PC with the administrator account.

I've just been using the msiexec option from and elevated command prompt. As long as I enclose the UNC in quotes I can run it directly from a UNC path.
