Can't Install/Uninstall programs - policies to prevent Install
I have a laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and it can not install or uninstall programs in any normal way. When you try to do so, it comes up with this error "The System Administrator has set policies to prevent this installation." Now, I have googled it and most posts refer me to use the Local Security Policy editor/snap-in which is NOT available in Windows 7 Home Prem. So, most say you have to edit the registry to enable this support, but I have not ran across a reg edit that will help me with this specific issue. My account is an administrative account and I have even gone as far as creating a new account with admin privledges and still get the same error. I even got that error in the middle of creating the new account, too. So, is there anyone out there who might know what registry entry I need to add/modify to get passed this issue? I will add that you CAN install programs so long as you right click the installer and run it as administrator. Thanks for your time.
