Why am I getting permission denied installing Powershell 2.0 on Windows XP (and certain other update
- by spoulson
I'm working on a corporate desktop (still) running Windows XP SP2. I recently received a new PC and am reinstalling all my tools. Something is different about this one in that it won't let me install Powershell 2.0.
When I do, I get a popup:
You do not have permission to update
Windows XP. Please contact your
system administrator.
This also occurs for other installs, like Service Pack 3 and Windows Installer 4.5.
I'm aware this PC is under group policy restrictions, but I haven't narrowed down what restriction is preventing this install so that I can have the appropriate support team resolve it. What setting could be responsible for this?
