ZdM Agent requiring admin rights to install

Hi,
We are striving to upgrade our Desktop Agent to 6.5.20.0 from what is
currently a mixed bag of 4.0.1 upwards.
Our desktop environment is XP Sp2. ALL users only have User permissions to
the local environment. This is a constant that cannot change.
Whilst trying to use NAL to update the ZdM Agent, an MSI error 1603 is
being encountered. MSI logging reports this error is related to
insufficeint priveleges to perform the installation. The NAL object is user
associated and is set to force cache. Manipulation of the unsecure/secure
system user switches do not solve the issue. Logging in with a user with
elevated priveleges performs a successful install.
Is there a method to use NAL to install the ZdM Agent in a User
permission-level environment?
Regards,
Gary.

Pushing out software that "requires" admin rights....

I have a piece of software that needs installed on 200 users machines....however the software requires admin rights to install. So, by using group policy, I can successfully push out the software to users that have local admin rights, but it will not install
on machines that do not have local admin rights.
Whats the best way to accomplish this without giving 200 people admin rights?

How did you create a Distribution point ?
To publish or assign a computer program, you must create a distribution point on the publishing server (I am sure, you must have done that already)
However, FYI... Here are the steps
create a distribution point
Log on to the desired server as an administrator.
Create a shared network folder where you will put the Microsoft Windows Installer package (.msi file) that you want to distribute.
Set permissions on the share to allow access to the distribution package.(Authenticated Users should have
READ permissions)
Copy or install the package to the distribution point.
Assign a Package
Computer configuration / Policies / Software Settings / Software installation
Right-click Software installation, point to New, and then click Package.
In the Open dialog box, type the full Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path of the shared installer package that you want. For example,
\\FileServer\Share\software.msi
Important: Do not use the Browse button to access the location.
Make sure that you use the UNC path to the shared installer package.
Click Open.
Click Assigned, and then click OK. The package is listed in the right pane of the Group Policy window.
Close the Group Policy snap-in, click OK, and then quit the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in or gpmc.
When the client computer starts, the managed software package is automatically installed.
Along with Software Distribution policy, you can set another policy "Always install with elevated privileges"
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Installer
This policy directs Windows Installer to use system permissions when it installs any program on the system.
This policy extends elevated privileges to all programs. These privileges are usually reserved for programs that have been assigned to the user (offered on the desktop), assigned to the computer (installed automatically), or made available in Add/Remove Programs
in Control Panel. This policy lets users install programs that require access to directories that the user might not have permission to view or change, including directories on highly restricted computers.
If you disable this policy or do not configure it, the system applies the current user's permissions when it installs programs that a system administrator does not distribute or offer.
Caution : Skilled users can take advantage of the permissions this policy grants to change their privileges and gain permanent access to restricted files and folders. Note that the User Configuration version of this policy is not guaranteed
to be secure.
Important: This policy appears both in the Computer Configuration and User Configuration folders. To make this policy effective, you must enable the policy in both folders.
Hope that helps.

What OS are you using?

Error 175 .- CC needs admin right to install or remove add-ons - Windows 7 -

Sync files is turned on and I updated all my CC apps but can't install the Kuler extension for PS CC 2014 and other add-ons. Also, constantly getting pop-up notification "Need Admin Rights to install add-ons"."Error 175 " "Installation failed" . Windows 7, desktop & laptop. Please help to resolve this issue. Thanks. Giulio

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.

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.

Merge Modul CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm requires admin rights

Dear all,
I created a VB2005 windows forms application using Crystal Reports XI R2 viewer and managed somehow to include CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm in a clickonce deployment package. What really bothers me is that local admin rights are required for the CR runtime files during initial installation of the programm (updates work fine as normal user).
Is there a way to avoid this?
Can I install CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msi prior to the application with (different) admin credentials during user logon and removed the merge module from the clickonce package?
Any ideas appreciated.
Regards

With the parameter " /qb pidkey=your product key" Glenn delivered the key to a solution. Using the SysInternals-tool psExec I was able to install the CR runtime an my target machines remotly and the users could install my software with normal users rights without problems:
I used the scripts RemoteInstall.cmd which has one single line
C:\Programme\PsTools\psexec
target_machine -u Domain\pcAdmin -c
server\pathORshare\InstallCR2005-Runtime.cmd
and InstallCR2005-Runtime.cmd which contains these commands
c:
cd %Temp%
copy
server\pathORshare\CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msi
crystalreports11_5_net_2005.msi /qb pidkey=my product key
del crystalreports11_5_net_2005.msi
BTW: psExec supports a parameter @file with a list of target machines
Your anwsers have really been a great help.

CC now requires admin rights, why?

we have a group of CC accounts that sit behind a corporate firewall on managed machines. up until today all CC elements were installing correctly and without a problem. we had to open up the ports to adobe at first, but all has been running smoothly.
Now however, if I open CC desktop, I am prompted with an update or quit message, if I try to update I now get told that I do not have sufficient admin rights. in truth I never did! I never needed them for adobe CC. So why the change?
To save me the painstaking exercise of asking IT to try and find out what can be done. Does anyone know what can be done to fix this problem...
what do I need to ask IT to do?
Don't say give full admin rights!
I can't believe Adobe would force a requirement for admin rights, potentially barring the corporate client market.
Any help appreciated,
thanks
Chris

I had an Unknow Server Error trying to do log-in as normal user, so I found this trick and that solved all my problems:

Does java require admin rights for deployment?

Just like the subject says, if I'm running in a limited user account can I deploy java packages or do I have to have admin rights in order to deploy programs?

Installing Java on a Windows 2k or XP machine requires Windows administrative privileges - see the appropriate Java Installation Instructions from Sun. If your use of "deployment" means anything else, that's all controlled by the privileges that your administrators give you; there are no requirements or rules other than what they set, as DrClap said. If you're not sure, have them set you up like the other people.

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

"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!

Help with running programs that require admin rights to laptop

We are not able to run java, flash, or shockwave on our laptops unless we
log into the workstation first as an administrator. Is there a way to fix
this so that the students do not have to log onto the workstation first as
administrator?
Thanks,

Does CS5 require Admin Rights?

I work at an IT helpdesk, and many of our users that are just now starting to get Adobe CS5 are experancing problems.
All of our users DO NOT have admin rights.
Whenever they launch Photoshop CS5, this is the error they receive:
The instruction at "0x0fcaa8dc" referenced memory at "0x000b0000". The memory could not be "read".
Screenshot:http://imgur.com/LISVn.jpg
When we run the program with an administrator account, it opens just fine without any error.
This is the first version of Adobe CS that we have run into this issue with. CS4 was running like a champ previously for all of out non-admin users.
Does anyone know if there are certain files i need to permission to get this working for our users.
Thank you.
-Ash-
PS: Extra info:
We are running Windows XP SP3 x86.
We are on a domain

Thanks Chris,
Updated and everything is working normally now.

W7 x64 SP1 Programs requiring admin rights stop responding

PC G560
Windows7 64bit with SP1 (happened before SP1 as well)
Hi
When logged in as a User if I click on anything which requires administrator priviledges, the box comes up to enter the admin password, it does not matter if I enter the correct password or if I click cancel the program then hangs with the circle icon spinning when I hold the cursor over the program. CTRL ALT + DEL and close the unresponsive program and all is OK again.
Any suggestions please

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Solved it, without a full install. Thanks to another poor sole on this forum.
I trawled through pages of searches and the most common problem was with Lenovo PC's or certain applications, to say that Lenovo have such a small market share but so many problems really is annoying. a Yahoo search drew me back to this forum, uninstalling Veriface has resolved the issue, which is a shame as I actually liked the face recognition as the laptop is used by all of the family.
So far Lenovo have not impressed me-Wireless N rating is almost a fraudulent claim, low battery life, constant niggles like this one just solved, only real support is this forum the company support is crap. Touch pad is also diabolical.
For an offcast of IBM who I rate highly this is poor.
Anyway, hope this helps others out there.
