Paul Suarez Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Can you right click and install or run as admin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian c Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 Right click offers many options, but none that seem to indicate admin. The Install option creates the same results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Suarez Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Please post a screenshot showing your user account is set as an administrator. To see whether you have administrative privileges on your computer: Go to the Start menu (in the lower left corner of your Windows desktop). Click Settings > Control Panel or Control Panel, depending on which version of Windows you have. Open User Accounts. Click the Users tab. If Administrators is displayed in the Group column or for your user name, you have administrative privileges. Steps are from this link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damian c Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 As I thought, I am already an Administrator, so the option to run as administrator is not there since I already am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damian c Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 I am not sure if this solved the problem or getting the latest MS Windows updates loaded, but I got it to work https://www.howtogeek.com/178826/how-to-force-an-msi-package-to-install-using-administrator-mode/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
