"You do not have sufficient access to uninstall" following CF9 silent install

When running a silent CF9 install I'm unable to remove the product, either through control panel or running the uninstaller directly. The error is "You do not have sufficient access to uninstall Adobe Coldfusion 9. Please contact your system administrator." Coldfusion works perfectly fine after the silent install, it just cannot be cleanly removed
This is being run as a local administrator on Windows 2008 R2 SP1 in both cases, from an elevated command prompt. If I run the installer interactively with the same settings it works as expected and can be removed without any trouble
My silent install parameters are:
INSTALLER_UI=SILENT
SILENT_LICENSE_MODE=full
SILENT_SERIAL_NUMBER=#LICENSE#
SILENT_INSTALLER_TYPE=standalone
SILENT_INSTALL_ODBC=true
SILENT_INSTALL_VERITY=true
SILENT_INSTALL_SAMPLES=false
SILENT_INSTALL_JNBRIDGE=false
SILENT_INSTALL_LDS=false
SILENT_INSTALL_FOLDER=C:/ColdFusion9

SILENT_ADMIN_PASSWORD=p4ssW0rD!
SILENT_FLEX_ENABLED=true
SILENT_ENABLE_RDS=false
SILENT_RDS_PASSWORD=p4ssW0rD!
I looked over the options in http://blogs.adobe.com/cfdoc/2009/10/performing_a_silent_installation_of_coldfusion_9.html but dont see anything else related to the user context on Windows. Is there something else I'm missing, or is this a bug?

Thanks Anit,
If I kill jrun and run the uninstaller directly I get a Fatal Application Error with this message:

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.

Bonjour for windows gives this error - You do not have sufficient access...

I installed Bonjour for windows on a PC running XP. When I run the Bonjour app from windows I can see the printer I wish to connect to. It is shared off of my G3 server. When I try to connect I get the following error,
"You do not have sufficient access to your computer to connect to the selected printer"
I have done some research through Apple's info database and found,
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302408
I followed the instructions and still I get the same error. I have rebooted the PC deleted all the printers under the printer window. But no luck. I found a similar request by another apple forum user. His issue was the same but he was using 'Parallels' emulator. But no solution was provided.
Any suggestions?

Well this is what I've done to date to try to resolve this issue.
I uninstalled Bonjour for Windows from my PC. I checked Apples support pages dealing with Bonjour for Windows (BfW). As suggested I deleted all printers in my printer window, (to delete all possible print Queues). I updated my Windows to the latest patch for XP. I reinstalled BfW, with the XP Firewall turned on. It is suggested that BfW will make the necessary changes to the XP firewall to allow traffic going through port 5353. I have tried more than one printer off of my G3 and I double checked my external router port restrictions, and I turned off the firewall on my G3, shared mt printers in OS X, and even turned on windows file sharing. I even updated my G3 to 10.4.8
I pinged my G3 from my XP machine it's there. Also I can see the G3 with it's printers when I browse the network from the XP box. Also I'm on the same local subnet 192.168.2.x
The only thing I have not done yet is see if it is possible to ping a bonjour host (my G3) from a bonjour client (XP box). That would at least verifiy the 5353ports.
Anyone have a bonjour utility to do that? Probably have to run in a Windows enviroment. Or can a ping packet be directed to use a particular port?

Windows Vista Bonjour error "You do not have sufficient access..."

My Windows Vista laptop recognizes my HP PSC 1310 printer connected as a USB printer with Airport Extreme. It even has the correct driver. When i go to finish set up i get an error "You do not have sufficient access to your computer to connect to the selected printer". I am doing this as an admin on my PC. The printer works correctly on my Macbook. The guidance given by apple is no help at all. Any ideas?

I experienced the same general problem and did find a manual workaround in my particular instance. Hopefully this is helpful to anyone who's facing the same situation.
MY SETUP: installing a hp LaserJet 1012 that's tethered to a wireless Time Capsule (home network) on a virtual VISTA platform running within Parallels 4.0.3810 on an iMac OS 10.5.6.
THE PROBLEM: WinXP (also virtual) connected to the printer through BONJOUR FOR WINDOWS without any problems. However, doing the same in Vista resulted in a last step termination of installation with the following message from Vista: "You do not have sufficient access to your computer to connect to the selected printer." Lovely.
Turns out, according to Microsoft (link: support.microsoft.com/kb/946394/en-us Help and Support Article ID: 946394 - Last Review: January 24, 2008), the problems is due to "the Hewlett-Packard (HP) print driver uses an HPBmini.dll file ("HP Mini Installer") whose version is earlier than 1.0.0.13."
My workaround was to simply install the network printer manually via ~ (the following are the choices that I clicked on in VISTA)
Vista Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Printers > Add a printer >
Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer >
The printer that I want isn't listed >
Add a printer using a TCP/IP address or hostname >
CHOOSE - Device type: Autodetect
INPUT - Hostname or IP address: "Time-Capsule"
(which is the specific hostname in my case, the hostname can be found by going to OS X System Preference > Print & Fax > click & highlight the printer installed on the local network in OS X and look for the hostname after "Location:". Remember, Windows do not do spaces, so if there are any spaces in your hostname be sure to substitute a dash "-".
SELECT - "Query the printer and automatically select the driver to use" >
Device Type > Standard | Generic Network Card > Install the printer driver* >
(*Here's the tricky step, since you don't want to use an old driver which would bring up that old insufficient access message, but you do have some options:
a) you have a known VISTA COMPATIBLE driver from the manufacturer (net downld);
b) the "Add Printer Wizard" window may contain a driver for your specific printer or a similar printer. Also, try the "Windows Update" button to refresh the choices if you can't find it the first time; and finally,
c)"Generic" is a legitimate choice in the Manufacturer window if you can't find any better options.)
From there, it's just Next > Next > and choose to share printer, etc. to finish up.
Luckily, I got through to "Print a test page" and it all works without the annoying "insufficient access" message.
Best of luck to you.

You do not have sufficient access to your computer to connect to the selected printer

Environment
Print server: Windows 2008 R2 SP1
Clients: Windows XP SP3 + GPP
Drivers:
HP UPD PCL6 5.3.1.10527
Intermec 7.2.2
Ricoh UPD PS 3.9.0.0
Xerox UPD PS 5.216.12
Zebra 2.6.42.03
GPO Configuration - enables users to add printers/drivers from the print servers.
Background
For the last year, we've had the 2008R2 print server set up and the clients have not had any problems connecting to the print server to add printers.
Issue
Over the past ~3 weeks, we've gotten spurious reports from users stating they're unable to add a printer. The specific error displayed is:
You do not have sufficient access to your computer to connect to the selected printer.
It occurs for multiple vendors, so it's not a print driver specific issue. I've personally witnessed the problem where (using a User's account) I was unable to add Printer X out of a list of 10 random printers. 2 minutes later, still logged on
as the same user, I was then able to add Printer X which doesn't make any sense since nothing had changed.
Another user logging into the same workstation will not have any problems adding the same problematic printer. The user who had the problem can log onto a different workstation and add the same printer with no problems, so it's not a User permission
issue either.
Most of the time running gpupdate /force and/or rebooting the box will also 'solve' the problem.
Running the group policy results wizard on a few random workstations (which have exhibited this problem in the past), shows everything appears to be properly configured/enabled related to GPOs, including the
Prevent users from installing printer drivers setting per http://support.microsoft.com/kb/259937
Has anyone else ran into this problem lately?
How does one troubleshoot this issue since I can't faithfully reproduce it on demand since it appears to resolve itself after a period of time?

Haven't found the smoking gun to this problem, but I am getting closer.
Troubleshooted another PC today which was exhibiting this problem for another user. Logged onto the PC with my User account and sure enough, received the same message for the same printer. Fired up Sysinternals Process Monitor, but nothing useful
was captured when receiving the failure message. There was also another Point and Print printer which was present on the workstation (i.e.
PrinterName on PrintServerName) for my User account which stated "printer cannot be removed. Access is Denied" when I tried to delete it. Odd. Getting properties on the printer would bring up the correct info from the print server
though, so it was valid and appeared functional.
I tried running the new
MS FixIT printing tool, but it failed in full mode with an admin account.
Next, I searched through the registry for this printername which I was unable to delete. Eventually it was found at:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Providers\LanMan Print Services\Servers\PRINTSERVERNAME\Printers\PRINTERNAME
On a hunch, I deleted the entire PrinterName key, restarted the print spooler, and then was able to add the printer with no permission errors! There were several more printers listed in this registry key. I tried the same steps again:
validate receiving 'sufficient access' error.
purge printer's registry key
restart spooler
Able to add the same printer via point and print.
This solved the problem on half of the printers. The others added with no errors. The printer drivers in question are from both HP and Xerox, so I doubt it's a vendor specific issue and instead Windows (unsure if XP or 2008 though).
It would appear that Windows caches the information about the printer/driver/settings/etc from the print server in CurrentVersion\Print\Providers\LanMan Print Services\Servers\PRINTSERVERNAME\Printers\PRINTERNAME ? Why does it need to be duplicated
in both HKLM and HKCU?
Separate PC, further exploring this printer issue and the contents of the \LanMan Print Services\Servers\PRINTSERVERNAME\Printers\ keys. On this PC, I successfully ran the MS FixIt for Printing tool in Full mode and rebooted. After reboot, the
System Event logged the following for multiple printers -- which should've been deleted --

subkeys, rebooted the PC, logged on, and those errors did not repeat.
Something strange is definitely going on with the printing subsystem on XP lately...

"You do not have sufficient access to your computer " Why??????

Why am I getting this error connecting from Vista to a shared printer on my iMac under 10.5.5?

Bottom line? Bonjour doesn't work with Vista. Manually install the printer in Vista the old fashioned way.

"You do not have sufficient access priveleges to rename the item"

Hi All,
I have a strange problem that has appeared over the last few weeks. I can no longer rename applications, and also have noticed that I am being asked for my admin password to allow for certain tasks that I was not prompted for previously.
For example, I had previously named the application "Cyberduck.app" to "FTP Cyberduck.app" with no problems. If I now attempt to rename the same application (or any other for that matter), I receive the message "You do not have sufficient access priveleges to rename the item".
I have tried several things to resolve this issue:
* "Disk Utility" > "Repair Disk Permissions" (from booted into the system, and also from the Mac Install CD). Either way, I see a list of permissions that have supposedly been repaired. However, I find that if I immediately run the repair again, the SAME folders and files are repaired (suggesting that they were not actually repaired first time round).
* "Password Reset" from the Mac install disk.
* "Repair account ACLs" from the Mac install disk.
All to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas for me (short of reinstalling?). I'd really like to get to the bottom of this issue incase it ever happens again.
Many thanks in advance,
AJ

Have you done anything significant to your Mac since around the problems started, such as restoring a user with Time Machine? Do a Finder "Get Info" on your Mac's Application folder and look at the "Sharing & Permissions" sections. Mine shows "system: Read & Write, admin: Read & Write, and everyone Read only". What do you see? Do the same thing to the Cyberduck application. What do you see for it?

I think that permissions repair is highly overrated as a system fixing tool. In any case, see this Apple document on type of permissions repair messages that can be ignored:

You do not have sufficient access privileges to rename the iten "name"

Hi,
I want to rename my short name in my powerbook and I can't, it shows me You do not have sufficient access privileges to rename the iten "name".
can somebody help me pls

You cannot properly change the short name of your account in the Finder; you need to use this application to do it, or change the short name to the desired name in the NetInfo Manager, which is in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder. Your short name is stored in several places in the NetInfo Manager; these are parts of the information for your user account and a few groups.
If there are no administrator accounts on the machine, use these instructions to add administrator access to one of your accounts.

The same admin account can access User/Group/Org Manager screen, however, for some reasons user and group searches return no results.

Hi Vinod,
Thanks for the post. OK, if I got it right, I have two entries under obcontainerId=DBAgents for each of my primary Id servers. For the one I currently use, I have this towards the bottom:
obname=oblixConfig-OIS_mdi-oamlx-3
obname=default-OIS_mdi-oamlx-3
Both entries have obdbusedby set to OIS_mdi-oamlx-3 which is my OIS id. The obsearchbasestr is different: o=Oblix,o=paychex inc for the oblixConfig, and o=paychex inc,c=us for the default one. Is that's the way it should be?
Thanks Roman
P.S: I've noticed I get same error accessing My profile under User Manager.

You do not have sufficient access

I had a USB printer connected to my Airport extreme and was able to print to it using Bonjour from my XP machine. However, because of it's unreliability, I re-connected it to my G5 iMac and used printer sharing for the other Macs which worked much better. However, when I tried to connect from my XP machine, the printer is found but I get the following error: Error: You do not have sufficient access to your computer to connect to the selected printer. I have followed the Apple KB and re-installed Bonjour and deleted print queues etc., but it still doesn't work. Apple say that the latest version 1.03 fixes the problem. I have downloaded this and installed. However, the version number given in the XP control panel gives version 1.0.102!
Has anyone got any ideas please?
Thanks
Phil
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 3 other Macs

I'm behind a corporate firewall through a VPN. However, even when the VPN is disconnected and I am going through the Airport, I can't print. When the printer was connected to the Airport directly, it printed OK. However, printing wasn't reliable from the ibook and other macs when connected this way.
Thanks
Phil

Essbase add-in error:You do not have sufficient access to perform a lock

Hi,
I have a user who is doing a retrieve in Excel and is getting this error on v.9.3.1:
Essbase Error: "You do not have sufficient access to perform a lock and send on this database".
The user is just doing a retrieve, no lock and send.
I asked him to disable 'update mode' in add-in options (Mode tab) on each of his sheets.
But when he open a new sheet/document Excel 2007, the 'update mode' is enabled by default.
Where can we change that ? Is there a command to put in a .ini file?
I check all the threads but there no answer on how to change this default setting.
Thanks for your help,

Bonjour printer "You do not have sufficient access to...

Bonjour for Windows: Printer wizard says "you do not have sufficient access"
If you get this problem go into your Airport utility and change your printer name to something shorter than "40 Character." (Errrr PC!)
Then go back into your Bonjour and finish installing your printer.

This is happening with me. I have Airport extreme WiFi router with a USP printer attached. Mac prints just fine but while installing it on a Win7X64 computer it throws the permission error.

I tried restarting with the Leopard Install DVD and doing the Reset Password > reset ACLs thing for all user accounts on the computer but the problem remains.
When I execute
sudo chmod -R +a "everyone deny delete" ~/
chmod responds with "Operation not permitted" on hundreds of files. For example:
chmod: Failed to set ACL on file 'Application Data': Operation not permitted
When I next execute
sudo chmod -R -a "everyone deny delete" ~/
chmod responds with
chmod: No ACL present
When I execute
sudo chown -R `id -u`:`id -g` /Users/`id -un`
chown responds with "Operation not permitted" on hundreds of files. For example:
chown: /Users/myusername/Music/b/Beck/1993 Loser (CD Single)/05 - Fume - Beck - 1993 Loser (CD Single).mp3: Operation not permitted
iMac is new in December 2007 and I used Migration Assistant to migrate files from a Mac Mini running 10.4. The iMac with the permissions problem also received files from an NTFS filesystem (Windows XP SP2).
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Thanks, Scott. I executed
sudo chflags -R nouchg ~/
and
sudo chown -R myusername:staff ~/
(replacing myusername with my user name)
and in each case there was a delay of a number of seconds and then the command prompt returned -- no errors. However, my renaming problem still exists.
Just fyi, I got
sudo chown -R `id -u`:`id -g` /Users/`id -un`

The list of commands in petrock's post of Feb 1, 2008 12:11 AM ("Re: if you have problems with ACL") did not work for me. I think they made things worse because now I'm being prompted to enter my password when doing simple things like deleting files when before it hadn't. I think this is because the list of commands did not all complete successfully -- it's not clear what to do if you encounter "operation not permitted" or "no ACL present".
And, I don't know if this is relevant, but before this I resolved some permissions problems in this thread:

might help me, or should I try something else?
