System Admin has set policies to prevent this installation

[Richard John]

I am trying to re-install Microsoft Publisher in my two computers.

The desktop installed perfectly but the notebook gives me this

message - "The System Administrator has set policies to prevent this

installation".



I have only one account and it is as administrator and I didn't set

any policies that I am aware of.



Can anyone please tell me how to cancel the policy and where I would

find reference to it. Thanks in advance.



Richard

Sorry - both computers are new. Windows 7 64 bit on the desktop and

32 bit on the notebook.

Thank you.

I fixed the problem, temporarily at least.

I select start and type in " User Account Control Settings"

Change the slider to the lowest position - restart the computer

then install the program and put the slider back after.
