policies to prevent installation

I was having trouble with Windows Installer popping up all the time ... and

following advice found in one of these discussion groups, I made some type of

change to WI to prevent it from doing so anymore. But now I can't install

the new Microsoft Office Pro Plus 2007 - when I try, I get a message that

says "M.O. Pro Plus 2007 encountered an error during setup." And it gives me

a "close" button to push, and that's it! And then this morning I tried to

install some Java Updates, and got a message that said "The system

administrator has set policies to prevent this installation. Windows

Installer." Please help!

Re: policies to prevent installation

 

Hi,

 

That policy is listed here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer

 

Either change the dword value or run my regfile below:

 

See line 366 - right hand side:

If the above doesn't help and it should... you may also want to check:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products

 

Good luck and keep us posted. :o)
