WIC Codec Pack won't install on Win 7 64 bit?

by **dave.toronto** on Sat Nov 28, 2009 12:13 am

I just downloaded the codec pack & tried to install it on a 64-bit Win 7 machine.

I go through the install wizard OK, but then get an error message when it tries to install:

"Windows Installer: The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation"

Also, for some reason, I never get a UAC prompt during the installation?

This is a vanilla Win 7 Home Premium installation & no system administrator has been anywhere near it, so whatever policies are set are the defaults that Windows ships with.

Can any body give me any suggestions?

No idea, it installed fine for me in Win7 64bit ultimate

Try right clicking on it and picking "Run as administor"?

Thanks for your help guys,

The problem turned out to be Windows Installer had completely died. Required a complete reinstall of Windows to fix it.
