Vista Runas

[Kubel]

I'm trying to run an .msi file as an administrator. Can someone tell me how to do that in Vista (Basic)?

Right click on the file. There is a option in there. Run as administrator should be right there.

I remember seeing that before, but I'm not seeing it on this MSI file. I also tried creating a shortcut and right clicking that. But I don't see it there either.

That is wierd. I have never come across this before. Only thing i can think of is try Safe Mode. Other than that you would have to hack the system into allowing the Admin account but then you would always have that account active and there is not turning back after you do that.

 

[bla!!]

if it's anything like XP, you can open a command prompt as administrator, then type this

msiexec /i "path to msi file.msi"

I found a registry hack that seems to work well. But thanks for the help anyway.
