Open the relevant Group Policy Object (GPO). For example, open the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in, right-click the organizational unit (OU) or domain, select Properties, select the Group Policy tab, select the GPO, then click Edit. Set to Enabled, then click OK (you must enable this GPO under both the User Configuration and Computer Configuration sections for it to take effect).

You can use a tool such as Group Policy to perform a managed installation of a Windows Installer (.msi) file or you can manually install a .msi file. Some applications that you install with a .msi file require elevated privileges to access file-system areas or registry keys.

Yes, installations created can run on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows Me, and Windows 2000. The installations created can either be a single MSI file, or a self-installing executable.

The Windows Installer service is a component of Microsoft Windows. Some software installation (or setup) packages require this service. The component copies files and makes registry changes on behalf of the program being installed. Sandboxie does not permit sandboxed programs to use the system Windows Installer. If the sandboxed program needs the service, it will fail and Sandboxie will tell you to start a sandboxed instance of the Windows Installer service.

If you have not disabled the User Acount Control (UAC) of Window Vista, then when you run AB Commander, it starts executing with the restricted (standard user) rights, just like most other programs do. If at some point you need to perform an operation that requires the administrative privileges, you can use the Tools - Restart as Administrator command of AB Commander to restart it with the full administrative rights.

You can do it by pressing the CTRL and SHIFT key simultaneously while double-clicking on the program to execute (or while pressing the Enter key to run the program). It would have the same effect as if you would have right-clicked on the program and selected Run as administrator from the shortcut menu. Commander tries hard to keep the columns of the panels the way you've set them up. Sometimes, however, Windows Vista takes control of them and rearranges them the way it thinks is better.

The Mac OS X installer is asking for a username and password for an account on that computer that has administrator access. This proves that you have permission to install the software on that computer. This account is usually the account you use to log into that computer.

Well, it seems I was mistaken in my original response to this question. Several WinME users have reported that they have no trouble running their older DOS games in this environment, though I still have yet to hear back from anyone running Win2K. Apparently WinME does provide enough DOS compatibility to be able to run these older games, though I'm currently not aware of what needs to be done (if anything) to get it working properly. Anyone care to enlighten me? =)

Windows Installer may prompt for a reboot if it installs over a file that is in use or the package explicitly requests that the installer reboot. It is easy to determine if Windows Installer prompts for a reboot because it installed over a file that is in use. The first step is to generate a verbose log file. In the verbose log file, look for the presence of the ReplacedInUseFiles property in the property dump.

Windows Installer software is used to download and configure Access Manager on your PC. Access Manager installation can use version 1.1 and above of the installer. You won't be able to use an earlier version. Your PC is automatically checked for the required Windows Installer version by the download.

For self-hosted WorkRoll installations installed on Windows, there is a "Windows executable" program (such as the installer programs that you would use to install a regular, non-Java Windows application such as iTunes, Microsoft Word, etc.). This program also installs a JSP application server (WorkRoll requires this software to run). Using the Windows executable to install WorkRoll on Windows is optional; users who want more control over their installations have other installation options.
