Install Virtualbox Without Admin Privileges Vista
In so far I'm enjoying the Windows 10 experience. A few tweaks to the GUI and I'm fairly happy with it. What I've been very annoyed about, and I've been hearing this has also been a big issue with Windows 8, has been privileges. For about a month I didn't have any issues. Then, all of a sudden (and I don't think there was an update), just before the new year iTunes started kick back that it wasn't installed properly and there wasn't a procedure entry point in the DLL folder. Thinking it was just the program, I tried to reinstall, but Windows Installer threw a 2503 error code.
Install Virtualbox On Linux
Install Firefox in XP, Vista, or Windows 7 without Administrative Priviledges Posted June 19, 2010 by David Kirk in Mozilla Firefox Within many computer environments, users do not have admin privileges to install software packages.
After doing some easy searching, it looks like it was a permissions issue. After checking all settings within the Install program, running the install program as admin, unregistering and reregistering with the server, double checking UAC as being off, and checked to make sure my user was part of the admin group the install program still wouldn't work. Finally, I enabled the Admin user and logged into it. No issue. So, obviously is a UAC issue. Just on the off chance that it would work I closed explorer and launched it with admin rights. Windows Install program ran just fine.
Okay, so maybe it was a glitch with iTunes installer. This is a technical preview after all. No. It wasn't just with that program. If I want to install or uninstall ANY PROGRAMS in Windows 10, I HAVE to run Explorer as admin or log into the admin account. It doesn't matter anymore. Windows Installer will always throw a 2053 error. This is THE MOST ANNOYING thing I have run across so far. One simple search of 2053 brings up plenty of results of others who have this issue (more in 8-8.1 than 7, but sometimes in 7).
I can tell you right now. If this kind of an issue doesn't get fixed, or a solution is found, I will NEVER buy Windows 10.
FAQ & Answers
I have a similar machine, not exactly the same specs with Virtualbox 5.1.8 running with a Centos 5 guest with no problems.
Virtualbox exe is installed on the SSD while the vdi file is on the HD.
At what point is the system hanging?
- While installing it gets hanged. But when I run the installer it imstalls ok but got hanged as I was trying to add a machine. Then force restarted and it is working fine now.
What windows you have? - 0
- Home or Pro? Because as I read Home does not support Virtualization. But I have home and my virtual machines work fine. VirtualBox got hanged only when I ran it without Admin privileges.
Windows 10 Home as I at this time refuse to pay for the PRO upgrade as it seams to be getting less PRO every day.
Yes the account is an admin account.
Virtualbox does all the virtalization I need, probably not as fast as Hyper-V but free.
I'm looking at changeing the machine to linux in the future once the hardware (wifi, trackpad &
camara/microphone) support has got sorted out.
The only think Microsoft that I'm still using is the OS
- So you didn't get any problem like this while installing or using VB?????
No
So you have go VB installed and you can open and close it with no guests configured in the VB manager, correct?
You now want to add a guest starting from scratch or use an existing image file?
What OS is the guest?
Right now it is working fine. I have added 2 machines onto it and they work fine. I am just curious that why does my PC gets hanged while installing (I tried installing many times from scratch and all the times it got hanged until finally, I ran it as an Admin). My account is an admin account but with UAC enabled so I have to give extra Admin privileges to programs if I want it to run as an admin. So I am thinking even if I run without admin privileges the program should not hang.
