The systems admin has set policies to prevent this install

cant update to new itunes

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?

    Likely your not the administor any more, the botnet is.
    Check on this site really quick if your part of a botnet

    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.

    From a MS Support Engineer:
    "Hi,

    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.

  • 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.

  • HT1926 Everytime I try and install iTunes it says "the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation".  does anyone know what this means?

    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?

  • 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?

  • "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.

  • Adobe Reader error-Administrator has Set Policies to prevent this install

    When installing Adobe Reader i receive the following error
    message-Administrator has Set Policies to prevent this

    normally just follow the update prompts and no problems. I have
    windows xp home ed.Can anyone help please.
    John

    Hi John
    I love administrators as much as the next guy, not!!
    Seriously though, this is a community forum for Captivate, another
    Adobe product, so I don't think we can be of much use here.
    However, I would suggest talking to your systems administrator to
    change your settings to allow the Reader update as this can only be
    done on your side and not from anywhere else.
    Cheers
