If the .msi file doesn’t give you the option to Run as administrator, you can force the installation with elevated privileges using one of the following methods:

Method 1: Install via Command Prompt (Run as Administrator)

  1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator:
    • Press Windows + X and select Command Prompt (Admin) or Windows Terminal (Admin).
  2. Run the .msi file with elevated privileges:
    • In the command prompt, navigate to the directory where the .msi file is located. For example, if the file is in your Downloads folder:
      cd C:\Users\<YourUsername>\Downloads
    • Then run the installer with the following command:
      msiexec /i YourInstaller.msi
    • This will run the installer with elevated privileges.

Method 2: Modify the MSI Installer’s Properties

  1. Right-click the .msi file and select Properties.
  2. In the General tab, if you see an option at the bottom saying Unblock, check that option.
  3. After unblocking, try running the installer again.

Method 3: Use PowerShell to Run as Admin

  1. Open PowerShell as an administrator by pressing Windows + X and selecting Windows PowerShell (Admin).
  2. Use PowerShell to run the installer:
    Start-Process msiexec.exe -ArgumentList '/i "C:\Path\to\YourInstaller.msi"' -Verb runAs

This forces the .msi to run with administrative privileges.

Method 4: Change Group Policy (if applicable)

If this is a policy issue where your user account is restricted from running installers:

  1. Open the Local Group Policy Editor (Run gpedit.msc).
  2. Navigate to:
    • Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Installer
  3. Look for the policy Disable Windows Installer and ensure it is not configured or disabled.

Method 5: Convert to .exe (as discussed earlier)

If these methods fail, converting the .msi to an .exe using the wrapper tools discussed in the previous message might give you the option to run the installer with elevated privileges.

Let me know which method you’d like to explore further!
