I am an Active Directory user that is in the 'Administrators' group on a Windows Server 2008 R2 server we have. When I attempt to install any setup packages I deploy to the server that are .msi packages, I receive the following error:

"You do not have sufficient privileges to complete the installation for all users of the machine. Log on as administrator and then retry the installation."

The thing is I am an Administrator. Is the 'local' administrator account the only account allowed to install .msi packages? I talked to my server admin and they didn't know why this is occuring since we just started using 2008 R2. If it was a configuration he would be happy to change it so users in the 'Administrators' group can install .msi packages. I can install .exe packages, but for this setup package I only have the .msi file.

Anyone know how to fix this or update the configuration?
