System Admin Has set policies to prevent this installation help?
I'm trying to install a program onto my computer (Windows XP Service Pack 3) And I keep getting this message that says something along the lines of "The System Administrator has set policies to prevent this installation". I've been researching this for the past few days. I've tried everything on the first three pages of google. I've messed with registry keys (I restored back though), I've messed with windows installer, I've set up a new Admin password, and a bunch of other things. Still I get the same error. Any ideas? Thanks
It is my home computer running Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3

Forgot your Windows XP password? Don't worry about that. I have troubled the same thing before. I searched from internet and solved the problem. Now i want to share with you and hope it will really help.
Solution 1: If you have owned another available admin password, it can work. Just log on your PC->Click "Start"button->Control Panel->Add or remove user account->Select the account you want to reset->Change or Remove the password. Then the password will be reset.
Solution 2: You can use one of the password recovery software tool to reset the forgotten password. Here, i would like to introduce you one of them, which i have applied. It is really a good hand. That is Windows Password Reset Deluxe. The process is following.
Step 1: Download the Windows Password Reset Deluxe from http://www.bing.com/search?q=Windows+Password+Rese... and burn a erasable CD
Step 2: Boot the CD into the ISO image which is provided by Windows Password Reset Deluxe
Step 3:BIOS settings
Step 4:Recover the Windows XP admin password.
It is an easy-to-use way to recover the password. You can have a try.

Login with the default administrator account
Step 1: Start Windows PC
Step 2: When you can see the Windows login screen, press ctrl+alt+del keys Twice and it'll show Classic Login box
Step 3: Type Administrator as Username and leave the Password field blank
Step 4: Press the Enter Key and then you can be able to login the default Windows administrator account which is it created by default when install Windows.
Note: When you input the key combination Please don't put the cursor on any account. And if you change the name or password before, you cannot login by this way.
Or try Windows Password Reset Deluxe to remove any admin password in one seconds!

It sounds like you made a bad selection as the Administrator...see if you can access that set up again and change it to give all access.
Here's a Google search on this option:
