SYMPTOMS
When you are logged on as an administrator and try to run an executable from the Systems Management Server Installer, the following error message appears:



ERROR

You do not have access to make the required system configuration modifications. Please rerun this installation from an administrators account.





CAUSE
This problem may occur when the Systems Management Server Installer attempts to write to the client's registry and the configuration requires that the registry contain a subkey that actually has no values in it. This may occur with most Windows NT services that are installed.



WORKAROUND
Add a value with no data, to allow the subkey to be copied and installed, as in the following example: MainKey SubKey Value = Keep; REG_SZ; Data=""



STATUS
This problem was corrected in the latest version of the Systems Management Server Installer.
