PRB: Setup Reports that You Do Not Have Administrative Rights |
Q187537
The information in this article applies to:
- Windows Management Instrumentation, version 1.0
SYMPTOMS
While running the WBEM SDK Setup on a Windows NT system, you might receive an error message indicating that you do not have Administrative rights on the system. As a result, Setup is stopped.
CAUSE
Following are the two possible causes of this message:
- You are not running on the Administrator account, and the account you are using does not belong to the Administrators Group of the system.
- You are a member of the Administrators Group (or running as Administrator), but you do not have permission to change certain registry keys under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hive.
RESOLUTION
- Log on as the Administrator or a member of the Administrators Group, and rerun the SDK Setup.
- Use REGEDT32 to give yourself full permissions on the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hive by starting REGEDT32.
- Highlight the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key.
- Under the Security menu, click Permissions and add the Administrators Group (and the Administrator account, if necessary) with Full control.
- Select the "Replace permissions on Existing Subkeys" check box.
- Click OK.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
