Issue:
I am not completely sure why a local admin cannot install an MSI... But the error given is "The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation".
Solution:
-
open regedit (if I have to tell you how to do that, you should stop right now)
-
browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows
-
right click Windows
-
select new -> key
-
type Installer
-
right click Installer
-
select new -> DWORD (32-bit) Value
-
type DisableMSI
-
make sure the value is 0
