Do I need admin rights to install jdk?

Hi I tried to download and install jdk 1.4 from java.sun.com, but after installation found out that just the jre part of ht einstallation was successful. The jdk is not installed so I can only run java classes but cannot compile any code.
Is this becasue I may not be logged in as an admin. Please help.
thanks,
nik

It's best that you have admin rights to install jdk...
What OS are you using?

This is covered elsewhere but you should enter your admin password and that should enable the install. Further details and solutions are in this thread:

In my understanding, you have acquired some add-ons at https://creative.adobe.com/addons, but Adobe Creative Cloud application failed to install them due to that you didn't provide the administrator right.
You can restart Adobe Creative Cloud application, then it will try to re-install all the failed add-ons, and the notification will pop-up again. You can click it and provide the administrator right.

App that need admin rights

I have an app they the support people state you need to login in as admin to run. I can confirm this. Even when I virtualized the app I still could not run it as a non-admin. I made a ZEN app and run it as a unsecure system user.
I think the software is poorly made, but do not have any choice.
Is there something is ZAV to make it run as a admin that I am missing?? The thing is we may be moving away from ZEN 7 to something else, but will still use ZAV.

$(UIt really depends on what the app is trying to do. One of the core benefits of ZAV is not having to be admin to deploy applications. For example, if an app needs to read/write from System 32, this can be done in the Virtual System 32.
The app may be checking the rights on the logged in user and seeing if it's in the Administrators group. If that is the case, virtualization will not help you.

I'm the admin and yet it says I need admin privileges to install games?

In fact, there are no other users on this brand spanking new laptop and it says admin under my name?!?!
And yet whenever I try to install games from the Apple downloads section, it simply said I need admin privileges to install the software...
Is it a Snow Leopard issue or a MacBook issue? I wasn't sure, so I posted it here.
Please help.

I'm having the same problem with Diner Dash. It doesn't even give you the prompt to give the password. All it says is "This installer needs admin privileges to download." And the only button it gives you is quit. I've tried a bunch of different things from deleting the guest account to taking the password off my computer, nothing is working.
I also set everyone to read & write under applications, I even added myself and an admin user since, in the beginning, it didn't have them and it's still not working. It has system, wheel, and everyone. I even checked out the Read me that comes with the disk, wondering if there was this problem known before and the section "Known Problems" says None under it, which doesn't help. I opened up the file inside the installer too and tried working with terminal, nothing is working.

Itune needs administrator rights to install updates in win xp sp 3

I have an issue with ITunes application with user profile and administartor profile. ITunes needs administrator right to install updates.
Under normal user profile , ITunes not able to install any updates.
It required manual works from administartor to run the application as "Administrator". Application level permission ( itunes.exe ) has full rights to the user,
but still ITunes needs administrator rights.
Please advise on how to install iTunes updates without Administrator rights.

It can't find the uninstaller. Use Revo uninstaller for the PCSuite and all Nokia related driver software and clean the registry with Ccleaner.

First time client opens java needs admin rights to download, any way to push java runtime from ARD and open so they don't have to have admin credentials?

Hey guys,
I am the IT admin for Macs in our company. When we put a brand new image on a client machine, it works perfectly. I can install and run packages using ARD. For Java however, when a client opens something required by java it says it needs to download the java runtime etc etc... It requires admin rights to download and install. My Users do not have admin privileges to install things.
Does Apple have the packages they install the javaruntime with on the internet to download as a .pkg or something similar? I was not able to find one that I could use and push through Apple Remote Desktop. Any suggestions?
Basically I need a way to have javaruntime on a machine without me needing to log into each computer individually to download it or needing to give admin rights to the users.
Thanks!

Nevermind; I found a standalone installed located at:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1421
I install this through ARD before running any update features or anything so the end-user will not have to type in admin credentials since I can do this from my side of things now.

Admin rights to install AIR apps on Windows?

Hi
I have the AIR framework 1.5 already installed on a Windows XP PC.
After this, are admin/power-user rights required to install AIR apps on the same machine to the "My Documents" folder? I would assume NO. Pls clarify.
If admin rights are required, are there ways to disable certain install features (Add/Remove control panel entry etc) to remove this admin requirement?
Thanks in advance

You must have the correct permissions to install anything. This includes AIR applications.

Why does App Manager think I need Admin privileges to install updates?

I'm a Creative Cloud subscriber, and when I open apps (such as Muse) I get a message to install upgrades (or not). If I ask to install, I'm asked for login and password info, which is then refused and I get an error message that I need Admin privileges. So the install fails.
I can log in to this site using my login and password, so that's not the problem. I can also open the application (without the upgrades) but these are listed as being time-sensitive: only available until, for example, June 14. But there's no way for me to install these new releases. HELP!!!

It's down to where the updates are writing their files / registry keys. For example, installing/updating the Flash Player runtime has always required admin access as the file lives within the operating system folder tree (on Windows it's in system32/Macromed). Registry-wise, Adobe places keys in HKCU and HKLM - the latter is read-only for normal users.
If you're managing a network with enterprise-licensed software, there are tools for Creative Cloud that permit an IT manager to build offline deployment packs for the base installers and updates. If your users have retail copies of CC, that isn't an option and everything has to be managed on a per-machine basis.

Want to configure a GPO "Stop (domain) users [having admin rights] from installing software"

Want to configure a GPO "Stop (domain) users [having admin rights for some particular users] from installing/uninstalling software"
Requirements :-
1. Domain user should not be allowed to install/uninstall any software's. Rest all the actions can be performed by the user like an administrator can do.
Please suggest if possible then how can I implement the same.

Hi Amar Chand,
You can do so by using certain Group Policy settings to control the behavior of the Windows Installer, prevent certain programs from running or restrict via the Registry Editor. The Windows Installer, msiexec.exe, previously known as Microsoft Installer,
is an engine for the installation, maintenance, and removal of software on modern Microsoft Windows systems.
You can try the following method to resolve this issue:
Method 1: Disable or restrict the use of Windows Installer via Group Policy
Open “GPMC”, create a GPO linked to the correct scope. You can refer to this article
Create a new Group Policy object.
Right-click it, click Edit, and then navigate to
Computer Configuration/Policies/Windows Components/Windows Installer.
In RHS pane double-click on Disable windows installer.
Click Enable and configure the option as required. "Always "option indicates that Windows Installer is disabled.
This setting affects Windows Installer only. It does not prevent users from using other methods to install and upgrade programs.
Click Apply to save this configuration.
Run gpupdate /force on the clients.
For your information, please refer to the following article to get more help:
Managing options for computers through Group Policy
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/sag_wininstall_group_policy_computers.mspx?mfr=true
Method 2: Restrict Programs from being installed via Registry Editor
Open Registry Editor and navigate to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Policies\Explorer\DisallowRun
Create String value with any name, like 1 and set its value to the program’s EXE file.
e.g., If you want to restrict msiexec, then create a String value
1 and set its value to msiexec.exe. If you want to restrict more programs, then simply create more String values with names 2, 3 and so on and set their values to the program’s exe.
Note: You may have to restart your computer.
In addition, if you choose this method, you could deploy the registry configuration via GPO. Please refer to the following article:
Configure a Registry Item

Flash 10.3.181.23 ActiveX MSI needs admin credentials to install

I am working at a company that installs Flash through Active Directory. We have a mix of Windows XP 32-bit systems and Windows 7 64-bit systems. We are currently running Flash 10.3.181.14 and I am trying to update everyone to the newest version.
The plugin version of Flash is working on all the systems and the ActiveX version is installing fine for Windows XP 32-bit running IE 7 32-bit. The only issue I am having is that when the GPO installs the ActiveX version on Windows 7 64-bit for IE 8 32-bit something happens and opening a page with Flash content on it causes a UAC prompt for admin credentials to install flash. If I type them in then it works but I am not able to go to each computer and type in the credentials.
Is there anything I can do to work around this? Turning off the UAC is not an acceptable option.

Hi Chris, I didn't see that the 64bit browser was used, oops. If that's the case, then I'm surprised the UAC even came up.
That UAC hasn't been performing as it should, so anything is possible:-)
Thanks for pointing that out!

How can I sync and edit in my ical that came with the computer?

Cannot update itunes keeps saying need admin rights.

I've tried to update itunes and it keeps telling me I need administrator rights to update itunes. Any ideas?

You may have had an autoupdate from Norton since then that changed things. Check your preferences in Norton and make sure you are not scanning the iPod or songs. Also, if you are manually managing your music, you will have to disable scanning external devices.

AIR runtime and AIR applications built using Captive Runtime still need Admin Privilege to Install

I am working on a small project to install AIR application(native .exe & .dmg) with AIR runtime without needing the Administrator privilege so I used Captive runtime but the installation is still asking for admin privilege
I bundled AIR application with AIR runtime using Captive runtime from flash builder 4.6, then I packaged this into a .MSI using Advanced Installer. Now when I install it for a user without admin privilege it prompts me for Admin credentials.
Can you please tell me if
1. I need AIR distribution license to install AIR runtime without Admin privilege
2. Do I need a different installer
3. Am I missing any step here
Thank you

If you're installing to a location where Windows requires elevated privileges, like Program Files, you'll need to have admin privileges to continue. Are you using an AIR based native installer or have you taken the application with the captive runtime and rolled this up in your own installer?
Here's a section from the Installation and deployment options in Adobe AIR 3 article that might help:
Installation privileges
When designing an installer, one has the option to choose from approaches that may or may not require administrative privilege. For example, a drag-and-drop install on Mac OS X requires no special privilege; users can always copy the application into their own application folders, for which they have the necessary permissions. On the other hand, if registry keys must be written to the machine-specific portion of the registry on Windows, installation of that application will require administrative privilege to do so.
The two installer formats directly supported by AIR, AIR files and native installers, have always required administrative privilege. This was a design decision made in part to simplify the implementation of the AIR installers: If administrative privilege is assumed to be available, implementation is possible if the registry can be written to, and so on. It was also selected because, in many enterprises, this is the desired behavior: administrators can use the privilege requirement to gate software installation.
All the same, there are scenarios where supporting installation without requiring administrative privileges is desirable, or even necessary. This can now be achieved using custom installers; you simply need to author an installer that operates correctly with only standard user privilege. In practice this can be easy to achieve; a simple install-by-copy to a writable location (that is, in the user's own folder) will suffice. Should you author a more complex installer, you should keep in mind that the addition of certain operations during the install process will in turn reintroduce the requirement for administrative privileges.
