I'm having problems getting my Group Policy Elevated Priviledges to work for software installation under Windows installer.

I have enabled install with elevated priviledges in both the Computer and User Configurations. Yet the windows installer still denies non-administrative users the access necessary to install software?

I've done the dame with Windows Server 2003. However, I can't get the installer to run at all. The client is WindowsXP, and I log on as administrator (domain administrator). My first thought was that it is a rights issue, but how can this be withthe admin account? I tried all combinations with elevated priveleges, installer set to "always enabled," etc. My next step will be to check security settings on my server, which leads me to suggest you might do the same. Frankly, I think I'm barking up the wrong tree in my case--how could the administrator lack rights?

Thought I'd lean on you for a suggestion, since the installer is working for you. I'm new to windows 2000 (and obviously 2003), though I've researched the installer for the last week, and still haven't made progress.

Have encountered other problems which have delayed work on windows2003 server. Reading your reply brings it back to me, and I think you are right--it is not a rights issue. However, I will tell yhou that I have had to communicate with Microsoft about another issue, and learned changing some of the out-of-the-box security settings can lead to trouble elsewhere.
