    How to Add "Run as administrator" to Context Menu of MSI Files in W10


    Run as administrator - Add to MSI File Context Menu - Windows 7 Help Forums

    Is this still applicable for windows 10?
    I have not yet attempted to do this.

    In my Downloads folder there are right click options to Install / Repair / Uninstall the LibreOffice installation file.
    I upgraded from windows 7 64 bit to windows 10 on my Lenovo G560 laptop.

    I have looked at the Local Services setting for Windows Installer.
    The Manual option was off and I have started the service. There is no option (or I am unable) to switch to Automatic.

    I have previously tried run the following commands from the cmd prompt as administrator.
    C:\WINDOWS\system32>sfc /scannow
    - no errors were found. *Smile

    I then followed the instructions to unregister and re-register Windows installer :
    • On the "Start" menu, Type Run in the search bar and hit enter.
    • In the "Open" box, type "msiexec /unreg", and then press ENTER.
    • On the "Start" menu, Type” Run” in the search bar and hit enter.
    • In the "Open" box, type "msiexec /regserver", and then press ENTER.

    The other command I tried from the cmd prompt as administrator for the file filename.msi
    C:\WINDOWS\system32>msiexec.exe /i C:\myfoldername\filename

    I got the following message.
    "The installation package could not be opened. Verify that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package."

    I have downloaded the .msi file twice, and have downloaded from this site on many occasions without problems.

    :)

    N79; can't run " home media " menu

    sawatdee krap,

    maybe because you havent set any connections for "home media". i think it needs to connect with your computer. you also need to install SimpleCenter's Home Media Server software on your PC

    maybe this will help you -
