neoedison Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Hi all, I'm new here. I have windows 7 enterprise, with accounts of admin and normal user. The problem is i cannot install or run certain executable files as a normal user but when logging in as admin, i'm able to do so. I've changed the local group policy to always install with elevated privileges for both computer configuration and user configuration folders but the comp will still prompt for admin password in order to proceed. So, I tried to disable uac, but then it says that it needs administrator rights to install the software. Now, i cannot understand why even after i changed the local group policy, i still need to key in admin password in order to install software when logged as normal user. Is there other settings that are required? or do windows 7 allow normal user without admin right to install software? How do i elevate the right of normal user? Thanks!

-pops- Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 This should give you an idea of what is and isn't normally available with the different account types./>http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2009.07.uac.aspxI always assumed that admin. rights were necessary to make alterations to the system and a "normal user" was just that - a user, not a changer.

neoedison Posted March 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 I know that a normal user can't change the setting, but what about admin giving right to them to install a program. This is what i'm trying to do but windows does not seem to allow for this? Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
