Default Can't install any programs


I can't install any programs, I keep getting an error
message that the System Administrator has set policies to
prevent this installation. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi

Verify that the registry value DisableMSI under the key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer

is NOT set to 1 or 2 (if it doesn't exist, it will default to 0 for
WinXP or earlier)

If it is set to 1 or 2, change it to 0.

Machine Policies: DisableMSI
