Installing msi in Limited Account

[Gordon]

If I right-click on the msi file, there's no option to "run as". How do
I install an msi file in a Limited Account without logging off and
logging on as an Administrator?

Thanks

The option isn't to "run as", the option is to Install (for a MSI file).

OK, As I am in a Limited account, how then do I "Install As"? (Ie
install as an Administrator, without logging off and logging on as an
Administrator?)

What if you use Start -> Run menu and enter:

runas [d:\][path\]<filename>.msi

Or you could use Start -> Help and Support, search on "runas", and
read the first article titled "Use the runas command to start programs
as an administrator" and then click on the link titled "Start a
program as an administrator".

Hint: The Shift key is involved.

I believe if you open a command prompt using runas, you can then launch the
msi file by typing in its complete path.
