I am trying to do my taxes and discovered this weird windows installer error when trying to install my tax software.

It says " The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation" I am the administrator and don't know if any of these so called policies that are interfering with the installation

First time I have had this issue when installing software. Anyone seen this before and know what setting might have been changed in Ntlite to prevent this?

Thanks
 
Is this installer an EXE or MSI package? I dunno, try:
Code: 
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer" /v DisableMSI t/ REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

I believe I tried this before but will have to double check tomorrow.

It is a .exe file

Checked....I already did this but didn't work thanks anyways.
 
Every time NTL updates with new removals of 32 bits components users on a 64 bit install gladly remove 32 bit components.
That's a bad idea.
Many programs/ (c)apps uses 32 bit on 64 bit installs.
I found that Network Profile 32-bit removal didden't work for QVPN client on a 64 bit Windows install.

I am unsure what this is above you are trying to say....maybe I am just tried

Are you saying removals of 32 bit components are causing issues when removed. It must be a real specific component that would have caused this because it's a first for me with any type of install.

It would probably take a long time to figure out which one it is that is causing this issue and probably not worth the hassle (for how low of a chance this was for me). I was able to still finish my taxes however on a older laptop.
 
I just compare my preset to new removals avaible in NTL via Changelog and see if it causes any problem for my installed programs.
