Installing an .msi file fails - can't get into admin mode
This subject has been discussed before but none of the suggestions seem to work for me.
I am trying to install MicrosoftCodecPack_amd64.msi file on my Windows 7 Home Premium system (64-bit). I'm the only user on this machine and I thought I had admin rights. However, when I try to install said file I get messages telling me I don't have sufficient rights to make changed to the registry, etc. I have Googled for answers but found that none of the suggestions are working. For example, right-clicking on the file and does not give me the option of "run as administrator". When I look at properties of the file I don't see any "run as administrator" option. Clicking on User Accounts>Change Your Account Type then clicking on Administrator grays out the "Change Account Type" button. I'm lost. Can anyone help please?
Thanks!
