Guest not smart enough Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 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!
Guest Kelly Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 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: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm 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) -- All the Best, Kelly (MS-MVP/DTS&XP) Taskbar Repair Tool Plus! http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/taskbarplus!.htm "not smart enough" <not smart enough@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:E9010FC8-1E45-45C5-9A68-61F408AAB021@microsoft.com... >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.
