Administrator set policies to prevent install?

[nivek7]

The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation is the error i get when i try to install alcohol 120% manually after the silent installation failed. (i set no such policy ) During the installation, i get no error messages. Before i used WIHU to make users, this didn't happen and it installed smoothly though it might of worked before i switched to WIHU to make users, I don't remember.

Also, i have problems with variables in RunOnceEx. I've tried %username%, %userprofile%, and %appdata% and they all dont work (it just ignores them). So far, only %systemdrive% works.

Thanks for any help and i hope i put this in the right forum

Update: I still don't have this working but after the install, if i delete this registry entry

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\32418F9EE1126B64A90E8365B85CFCF6]

i can install it without the error...

I have been searching around for ages for this solution to the Alcohol install problem. Does anyone know how to delete this reg entry unattended?

Open notepad and paste the following:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\32418F9EE1126B64A90E8365B85CFCF6]

Save this as Alcohol.reg (Or whatever you want to call it!!) and put it in your install folder. Now you can run it from RunOnceEx or wherever by using:

REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\Alcohol\Alcohol.reg

Of course this location may vary with your installation but you need to run this command BEFORE you run the installation.

Cheers. I put it at the start of my registry file that adds my reg info and it works perfectly. Much respect.
