OFF2000: Unable to Run Setup with AlwaysInstallElevated Policy Enabled
This article was previously published under Q231611
Even though the
Always install with elevated privileges System Policy from the
Microsoft Office 2000 Resource Kit is in effect when you run setup for Office, you may receive the following error:
Installing this product requires Administrative privileges on systems running this version of Windows.
You may receive the above error if all of the following are true:
- You are using Microsoft Windows NT 4.0.
-and-
- You are not a member of the Administrators group.
-and-
- The Windows Installer files have not yet been installed on your computer.
To set up Office with the
Always install with elevated privileges system policy, a member of the Administrators group must first install the Windows Installer files. To do this, follow these steps:
- Log in as a member of the Adminstrators group.
- Double-click Instmsiw.exe, in the Msi folder on the Office compact disc.
Once a member of the Administrators group installs the Windows Installer files, you (the non-admin user) must run Office Setup with either the
/q or the
/qb command-line switch. For example, you can run setup using the following command-line
where <path> is the is the path to the setup files.
If you do not use either
/q or
/qb you will will receive the following error:
