Today I hit a problem, where I had an older program which just wouldn’t install with User Account Control (UAC) enabled. I tried disabling it via control panel, but it just wouldn’t take. Then I found the following registry hack:
Under the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
Modify the DWORD called EnableLUA and change the value to 0. You’ll immediately be warned that you need to restart the computer.
Give it a reboot and you’re good to go!
