A. To run all Windows Installer installations with elevated privileges, perform the following steps:
Open the relevant Group Policy Object (GPO). For example, open the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in, right-click the organizational unit (OU) or domain, select Properties, select the Group Policy tab, select the GPO, then click Edit.
Expand Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components, Windows Installer.
Double-click "Always install with elevated privileges."
Set to Enabled, then click OK.
Expand User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components, Windows Installer.
Double-click "Always install with elevated privileges."

You can also use the registry to enable all Windows Installer installations to run with elevated privileges by performing the following steps:
Start a registry editor (e.g., regedit.exe).
Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer registry subkey.
From the Edit menu, select New, DWORD Value.
Enter the name AlwaysInstallElevated, then press Enter.
Double-click the new value, set it to 1, then click OK.
Navigate to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer registry subkey.
From the Edit menu, select New, DWORD Value.
Enter the name AlwaysInstallElevated, then press Enter.
Double-click the new value, set it to 1, then click OK.
Close the registry editor.
