    Software installer must run as administrator or there is a problem


    My computer has only one account and it's an administrator account. I have UAC disabled.

    If I want to install something, I must run it as administrator or it pops a window says "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package.A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run..."

    I did some research, some say that should add administrator right to TEMP folder which I already have.

    Any solution to this?

    :)

  2. Internet explorer must be run as administrator

    Hello Allen,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community and providing us with the detailed description about the issue.

    As per the description, I understand that after upgrading to Windows 10, Internet Explorer will open only in Administrator mode on the system.

    I certainly understand your concern and will try my best to help you.

    I would suggest you to refer to the suggestions provided by

    IE 10 will only open in Administrator mode.

    Note: The Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature might reset security settings or privacy settings that you added to the list of Trusted Sites. The Reset Internet Explorer
    Settings feature might also reset parental control settings. We recommend that you note these sites before you use the Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature. Resetting Internet Explorer isn't reversible, and all previous settings are lost after reset.

    The above steps holds good for Windows 10 as well.

    For more information:

    I would suggest you to refer to the suggestions provided by
