Unlikely. The 'real' administrator account in windows is not very obvious. Normal installs of a single user create a user with administrator privileges. However this account is not 'the' administrator account.
To run the installer as the real administrator right-click the setup file and select 'Run as Administrator.
If this does nor solve your problem then there is something more fundamentally wrong with your PC.

when intalling itunes i get message saying system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation; when trying to uninstall message says you do not have sufficient access to uninstall itunes please contact your administrator. i am the dministrator.
Windows right?
Likely your not the administor any more, the botnet is.
Check on this site really quick if your part of a botnet
http://botnetchecker.com/
All clear? Hopefully. Backup your files to a external drive, cd or dvd, USB keye etc off your computer.
Run the sfx file on this site and it will burn to a cd.

Next hit your BIO's key and set the cd to boot first, run the scanner and see what it pops up.
If your all clear then create another Admin, transfer your files over from the first Admin.
See if that works, eventually when your totally over to the new Admin, delete the old one.
If you can't create a new Admin, find out who locked your machine down, like your parents or it's a school computer?
Likely installed spyware or "nanyware" to watch you.
Hope that works. -

I am trying to download iTunes on my new desktop computer (Windows 7, 64 bit). It starts installing, and then stops with the message- "The System Administrator has set policies to prevent this installation." This is a stand alone computer and I am the sole user. Please help.
This is a Microsoft Windows Issue.
From a MS Support Engineer:
"Hi,
· Is the computer on a domain?
· Is the issue isolated to only this software or you get the same error message with other software’s as well?
Try the steps below and check if it helps.
Step 1:
Run the software setup file as an administrator and check if it helps.
a. Right click on the setup file of the software that you are trying to install.
b. Select “Run as administrator”.
Step 2:
Temporarily disable the antivirus software running on the computer and check if you are able to install the software.
Disable antivirus software
Warning:
Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install other software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
Step 3:
a. Click Start, type "Local Security Policy" (without quotes) and press enter.
b. Click on Software Restriction Policies.
c. In the right pane, double click on the "enforcement".
d. Select “All users except local administrators”.
e. Click Ok and restart the computer and check if the issue is fixed." -
I am using my partners computer. He has iTunes on his laptop but when I went to update iTunes, it said "the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation". I therefore deleted iTunes altogether thinking to reinstall the original iTunes and then upgrade it (i,e start from scratch) but to know avail. Is this a problem with my laptop itself? Or a problem with the internet settings?
HELP PLEASE!!Let's try something relatively simple. Download and save a copy of the installer to your hard drive (don't run the install on line and don't start the install just yet):
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Now right-click on the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) that you downloaded and select "Run as administrator".
Does that go through any better for you? -
When attempting to download iTunes I keep getting error The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation. This is a home PC and I am the administrator. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi PSpark!
I have an article here that I believe will help you troubleshoot this issue a little further. That article can be found right here:

The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation
when installing itunes on mums sony vaio with vista home edition. a message saying "the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation" pops up not allowing the installation to continue. had a quick look on other forums and the general concensus is that the settings that need changing are deep in the technical parts of the computer which im not prepared to go to. has anyone else had any problems like this and is there an easy way to fix it!?
We might as well try something fairly simple, just in case.
Download a fresh copy of the itunes installer to the Vaio's hard drive. (Don't run the install online.)
Latest iTunes Installer
Now start the install by right-clicking on the iTunesSetup.exe file and selecting "run as administrator".
Does that install go through any easier? -

Error: the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation
While trying to sync my husband's new iPad 2 to our computer, I encountered the following problem.
I currently have iTunes 10.1.1.4 installed on my computer but was told to update to the latest version of iTunes 10.2.2.
After trying to do this, I received the following error message: The System Administrator has set policies to prevent this installation.
After contacting Apple, Toshiba and Microsoft and following instructions from each of their tech support agents, I am still not able to uninstall iTunes as they all advised me to do.
The latest error message I receive is: You do not have sufficient access to uninstall iTunes. Please contact your System Administrator.
I am the administrator and am signed in as such. As you can imagine, I am quite frustrated.
A solution to this problem would be greatly appreciated.I received the following error message: The System Administrator has set policies to prevent this installation.
I'd try something relatively simple first. Download and save a fresh copy of the iTunes installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install on line and don't start the install just yet.)

Now right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) that you downloaded, and select "Run as administrator".

Although the following user tip is about iTunes, try the same procedure with an Airport Utility installer. (Downloading and saving an installer to your hard drive and then right-clicking the installer and selecting "Run as Administrator".)

"System Adm has set policies to prevent this installation" error message
I have always installed previous upgrade versions of iTunes with no problem. I'm the single user and the administrator of this stand-alone computer (not in a network). When I try to install iTunes 8 I get the "System Administrator has set policies to prevent this installation" (apparently a security measure to prevent installation of malicious software). Appreciate any help
gottadancexo247,
That's something set in your operating system. I googled "set policies to prevent this installation" and there are many, many hits on this and it's not just iTunes that doesn't get installed. You need to fix your OS permissions.
