I try to install to an uncompressed drive and the msi installer glitches and
I can no longer install the program. System policies prohibit this
installation - see your system administrator - I am the system
administrator! Help please

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
