Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services

I have a msi package which I modified it in a way now unprivileged user can install it but when installing after some progress in a progress bar a pop up generate saying that  "Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services". Since it is a permission issue message so I installed it as an administrator account but no luck pop up again generate and saying "Verify that you have sufficient privileges to installe system services". I googled but not find relevant answer to this. Can anyone let me go in the right direction?

Sure, were your on tap knowledge... ...

 

How have you modified the MSI, did you do it via a TRANSFORM - let hope so.

 

Also (someone correct me if I am wrong) a service requires elevation to be added, specially applies to a SYSTEM service. And in response to your error, I have a suspicion you have modified the MSI in a manner that is not standard to MSI's.

@OP,
I presume you have removed a (perhaps more than one) condition that prevented the installation starting if the logged on user did not have admin permissions. As I commented, you require admin permissions to create services via MSI (or for that matter anytime...).
I suggest you get the msi installation silent (using a transform) as Rileyz suggested and deploy via your EDS.

Cheers
Phil

  • I modified property table and add MSIINSTALLPERUSER property and set it's value to 1 & set ALLUSERS property value to 2. Now the program start installing as a standard user but eventually pop up generate saying "Error while writing to file C:\ProgramFiles\ProgramName\ProgramFolderName\core.dll. Make sure you have sufficient privileges to write to the directory" When I browse to the ProgramFolderName directory I found some files are written by the program. My question is If I set to install files in C:\ rather than Program Files Folder can resolve this issue? - philipadi 7 years ago
    • As this does not solve your problem, have you considered just deploying via your EDS, or do you not have one? - Pressanykey 7 years ago
      • Thanks pressanykey. What is EDS? - philipadi 7 years ago
      • @philipadi,
        Whatever system you use to deploy your software, for example SCCM, Altiris, RMS, KACE.... - Pressanykey 7 years ago
