Many regulars on this board won't even answer posts if the System Specs aren't filled in. It just wastes too much time asking if the poster has this or that or what brand PC it is.

Try Quick Links button, Edit your Profile, then System Specs tab.

Many thanks for your reply, - Unfortunately the slow internet (I am on a boat) means I can't change my details the normal way, so here they are! Hope this helps.

This seems to address the issue. It's an MS board so see how it goes:

Hi thanks for the reply,

Have seen this thread, problem is that this doesn't work for Home Premium because it doesn't come with the local security policy.

Need a way of fixing it for windows home premium, there are so many people asking for a genius to fix this!

Cheers

Hey thanks again!

I hadn't seen this possible fix.

Any chance you could talk me through creating it? - I have created a restore point and under HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer it has the key (Default) REG_SZ (value not set) .... by creating "DisableMSI Type: REG_DWORD value = 0 (0 should allow you to install it was originally 1)" is this done by editing that default value or creating a new key? or new string/binary value?

Sorry for being so lame,

Thanks so much,

Sam

It doesn't seem to have any affect at all and i can't find the product folder as it is a just an installer file
