Install failed in AAM "Admin privileges required"

Hi,
I'm running 27" iMac, mid 2011, OSX 10.8.3. When I try to install Photoshop, I'm prompted to enter my Admin password. The password is accepted, but AAM tells me that the installation failed because 'Administrator priviledges are required to install.' Only one account on the Mac and it's the Admin. Have set download permissions to "Anywhere" in the Security and Privacy preference panel. Have Firewall on set to 'Automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections'. I'm stumped.
EDIT **Uninstalling AAM and reinstalling seems to have fixed the issue. My setting listed above have not changed. Thank you**

ACR 8.4 CC RC install fails with AAM message 'patch not applicable'

ACR 8.4 CC RC install fails with AAM message 'patch not applicable' - Running Photoshop CC on OSX 10.7.5
Anyone seen this or have any ideas for a fix?
I also have my legacy CS6 installed on the same Mac - tried installing ACR 8.4 CS6 RC and that fails with the same dialogue box from AAM
The DNG converter installs no issue.
Thx
Chris.

Do you have some other software, like Photoshop Elements 12 on your system that would generally also be compatible with ACR 8.4 final but isn’t compatible with the RC because the RC’s only for PS users?
I installed the RC the same day it was released on my computer that has PS-CS6 & PS-CC with Windows 7 and it worked ok, so the update generally works, but something isn’t on your systems.
Are you up-to-date with your PS-CC version, which seems to be 14.2.1:

And is CS6 updated to 13.0.6?

Admin privileges required to install TurboCad

I am trying to install TurboCAD ver.3 on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. In am getting the erroe message, "This installer requires admin privileges to run."
I have seen a lot of discussion on this in Snow Leopard and I tried everything that was suggested, including changing the TRUE to FALSE in Install Script.
When I try to change it, I get the message that "This Script couldn't be unlocked because it resides on the locked disk TuboCAD Pro............ect."
Anybody know how to unlock that so I can edit the script?

Using Mac 10.7.5 I have had the same problem, but the fix described didn't work. The solution below worked for me so I thought this thread would be a good place to share it.
1) Show package contents of the TurboCAD installer app (right click on it in Finder).
2) Copy the folder Contents/Resources/Installer Items/TurboCAD Mac Pro v3.0 from the installer into the Applications folder on the mac.
3) Run the following in terminal:
sudo mkdir /usr/local
sudo mkdir /usr/local/lib
sudo cp /Applications/"TurboCAD Mac Pro v3.0"/Temp/libxerces-c.dylib /usr/local/lib/libxerces-c.dylib
sudo cp /Applications/"TurboCAD Mac Pro v3.0"/Temp/libxerces-c.dylib /usr/local/lib/libxerces-c.27.dylib
4) Run the application by clicking TurboCAD Mac Pro.app from within the TurboCAD folder in the Applications folder. Enter registration information as normal.

Windows 7: Flash Player automatic update fails due missing admin privilege. UAC issue?

The Windows 7 account I am using has admin privilege.
The automatic update displays an error message pop-up. In English it would be something like: "The installation encountered errors: You need administrator privlige to install Adobe Flash Player. Please log on as an administrator and try again."
At Windows 7 I am using the standard UAC security level settings and I am not willing to lower them. I am also not willing to install a Player update manually for three browsers every other week.
Any solution?
Thanks

Your page http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html mirrors my Flash Player as
at Chrome: 11.2.202.229
at Firefox: 10.3.183.11
at IE: 10.3.183.11
So I manually update once more for Firefox and once more for IE and hope it will update automatically from then on.
Thanks

Is admin privilege required to prepare hosts?

In attempting to segregate roles and activities using group permissions in N1 I came across the question of whether users who were not a member of the admin group have the privilege to prepare hosts? I looked into the documentation but did not find anything that addresses this question.
John S

Turns out you don't need admin rights to prepare a host.
To prepare a physical host, user must belong to a user group that has Create, Edit, Delete permission on hosts.
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-4450/6n6jp1i56?a=view
However, we learned through testing that the user who has these permissions (but isn't in the admin group) cannot prep the host from the GUI. Instead, they must run the prep command from the cli:
$cr_cli -cmd pe.h.prep -u <user> -p <passwd> -tar NM:<hostname>
Sun is now aware of this bug.

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.

Admin access required for downloading e-licenses?

Hola. Do end users need administrative access to their computers in order to download the e-license during the 30 day grace period?
Thanks!

Hola Morgan, Como estas? :-)
The answer: No, no admin privileges required to download an e-license to the machine.

AAM Won't Install - Admin Rights Required

Hi Folks,
Win7 64bit.
I've just signed up for Creative Cloud and am trying to install the AAM so I can access a few Adobe installers and get setup. I just crossgraded from Photoshop 5 CS and Dreamweaver, both of which previously installed no problem.   To access CC applications, you have to download and install the AAM.   When installing, it tells me admin permissions are required.   I've tried right-clicking and running as administrator - same error.   I've tried to run the MS fixit tool - no change.   I've tried to install Adobe Air, it won't install - it hangs on the EULA screen by opening more of the same screen over and over.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?   This is a new-ish machine and nothing has changed on it since installing PS CS5 and DW a few months back.
Many thanks in advance,
Rob

Hi Taurn,
The issue seemed to be resolved until I tried to open the AAM today, when it began again to do it's self-update process, and again it's failing due to admin priviledges.      I have a trial of LIghtroom that was the work around until it was added to the Creative Cloud offering - and now it's expired, and I can't install through the AAM because it won't, again, update itself. I've tried all of the suggestions found on the forum - firewall off - entry in the firewall for PDAPP.exe, new Admin account on my system.
Would you have any suggestions for me? I simply want to use the software as it was intended.
And I'm going to miss a deadline while I try to get this working again.....   I will be glad when the Creative Cloud (brilliant idea on paper) system works as it should.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
Rob

I'm attempting to reinstall ITunes because of a runtime error (R6034) when I start it. At end of install it says 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. I verified that I have admin privileges. Can anyone help?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

"requires admin privileges to install"

Hi,
I'm trying to install a game on my computer and it's not working. I put the disc in, click on the installer, and a window pops up stating "This installer requires admin privileges to run." I only have one user account on my computer and I have already checked that it lists me as having administrative privileges.
My mac has Snow Leopard and is running Mac OS X version 10.6.8
The game is Diner Dash Party Pack by PlayFirst.
Any thoughts on what I can do?
Thanks!

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.

QT 7.4 install fails - You do not have the appropriate access privileges."

well.. first off.. hope this right forum. It's happening qith a Quicktime 7.4 install but its not Quicktime issue..
Got the 7.4 Software Update along with 2 others (iTunes was one). I'm on my Mac, logged in as the admin, only account on the machine.
The two other installs downloaded and installed fine. In the SAME INSTALL session the QT 7.4 reported "You do not have the appropriate access privileges."
I've ran permissions fix with Apple disk util and OnyX, no help, install fails and reports same.
Here's the Console:
1/26/08 6:26:23 PM Software Update[3382] arguments=(null)
Model Name: Power Mac G4
Model Identifier: PowerMac3,5
Processor Name: PowerPC G4 (2.1)
Processor Speed: 1 GHz
Number Of CPUs: 2
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
L3 Cache (per CPU): 2 MB
Memory: 1.5 GB

sorry for the sys confusion I simply forgot to set ox version on the reply. I'm installing from the Software Update on the Mac, so... software update is choosing what to install, not me.
I have fixed permissions using Apple Disk Util and Onyx. Several times, repeated, and from startup disk, backup system clone, and the install CD. All complete showing a few items as "file changed, did not fix."
I really don't care that much about getting the QT 7.4 update but it really bothers me that I'm having this problem. The problem concerns me more than not having the update.

Installer requires Admin Privilege to run

I'm a new user on a Macbook. Its been about 20 years since I last was on an apple. I need help, I'm trying ton install a game on my laptop. When I click on the installer to install the game a window pops up saying "installer requires Admin privilege to run" and the only option is to quit. What do I need to do to get this game installed?
Thanks so much!!

/Applications/Utilities/Disc Utility - a very handy tool in all sorts of situations.
I'm most surprised that a new account with admin permissions wasn't able to perform the install I'm at a loss what might be causing that to be honest ... maybe the repair permissions on the drive will sort it out, perhaps the entire folder has had write access removed somehow. You could select the destination folder location and Get Info on it and look at the permissions settings at the bottom, does it allow any user to Write there or is it Read only I wonder ?

After upgrade to EMET v4.1 and reboot EMET_Agent didn't self-restarted but now double clicking its icon shows error "Admin privileges are required"

Hello all,
after on my Windows XP SP3 test client I upgraded to EMET v4.1 (from v4.0) and rebooted I noticed the following:
- EMET_Agent didn't self-restarted so I had to run it manually (and I noticed that after it started it also self-added an undocumented --NoRestart command line option),
- now that its icon is already in SysTray (Notification Area) the error "Admin privileges are required" appears whenever I double click on it or select 'Open EMET', so in case of need I can run EMET_GUI.exe only manually.
Is all this normal and expected or there can be any other possibly known way to avoid or definitely fix both effects ?
P.S. If to better show effects also providing any bitmap should be needed, then please just let me know.
Thanks in advance for any helpful reply or suggestion. Regards.
Rob

Hello everyone again,
I'm updating this post to ensure anyone interested may know how to definitely solve this issue.
After verifying that same annoying issue was also found with EMET 4.1 update 1 (valid for its 1st 4/30/2014 release, and verified also with
current and latest 5/29/2014 version) I recently made some little more investigation and after noticing its weird command line (reported by Process Explorer) simply as :
--NoRestart
I simply ensured to manually force same option to be properly set at startup, and that's it. :-D
So here you are quick updated versions of :
- EMET41NotificationFix.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"EMET Agent"="\"C:\\Program Files\\EMET 4.1\\EMET_Agent.exe\" --NoRestart"
- EMET41upd1NotificationFix.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"EMET 4.1 Update 1 Agent"="\"C:\\Program Files\\EMET 4.1\\EMET_Agent.exe\" --NoRestart"
I hope this helps (and if it does then please be kind and vote this post as useful... ;-) ) while to some forum moderator I'm asking to kindly mark this post as Answer.
P.S. It's just a pity that latest current version of EMET 4.1.1 (aka 4.1 update 1) cannot easily install over its 1st release (its setup suggest to 1st remove existing version), anyway I've found a tricky (hacked) way to overcome this limitation while also
avoiding reboot so in future I'll consider to share it publicly in a different discussion.
Regards
Rob
