Hello Djscy, and welcome to Seven Forums.
If you are part of a domain, then you will have to check with the domain administrator for permission to install these instead. You will not be able to bypass it.
If not, then you might check to see if there may have been a rule set in AppLocker to not install these types of programs.

Hope this helps,

hey brink thx that might be helpful but i dont have local security or local group policy as im running home premium so im stuck thx
You said " i cant deactivated uac or i cant seem to figure it out".
The easiest way I know is to click on Start then type msconfig and press Enter.
Click on the Tools tab.
Select Change Uac Settings then click the Launch button.
Move the slider all the way to the bottom.
Reboot and UAC will be disabled.

DJscy,
Oops, I missed that you had Home Premium. Sorry about that.
If you would post back a screenshot of your registry (regedit) at the Explorer key locations below showing all of the right pane of them. I'll take a look to see if there may be a entry there that is responsible for not allowing you to install the programs.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
thanks alot cato and ztruker that fixed the .msi problem now if i can figure out why itunes wont install. brink screen shots to follow this post
DJ,
You do not have anything in these locations that would prevent you from installing these files, but it looks like you have this solved for .msi files anyways now. :)
The iTune installation is a completely different issue, but I'm not familiar with it though.
well thx for the help so far maybe someone else will see this and me able to help with itunes?
If you have Bonjour installed, deactivate it from the system configuration. Also set it as 'disabled' in Services. Reboot and see if you can install iTunes now.
