MSI: The System Administrator has set policies to prevent this installation

Hi everyone

Today I wanted to talk a problem I seen on newer Windows Server 2019 in a RD setup.

Some user were having problem with a GPO for software installation (per user).

After some diagnostic I found on all my 2019 that the MSI system is restircted now by default.

If you stumble upon this bug;

Then you must be like me, and you have a registry to change.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer]
“DisableMSI”=dword:00000000

Now it should work.

Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 is out !

Hi everyone

I wanted to share a new, which is almost one month old.. but it’s worth nothing, it’s the new ISO for LTSC is now out 🙂

It inherit the feature of Windows 10 21H2 !

The servicing seem longer too, especially the IoT’s version. As such I suspect it will be one of the last LTSC version as Windows 11 is now here.
