Installing OracleXE184_Win64 results to this message "user must have administrator privileges".

User_5CVQ8

Hello,

Running the setup.exe to install OracleXE184_Win64 I get this message "user must have administrator privileges". I tried running it as administrator but the result was the same, then I tried to run the setup.exe from cmd, which I opened with run as administrator option and again the result was the same. In the attached files you may find a screenshot of the resulting issue.

Thank you in advance, George.

Hi George,

This message is not referring to the "Run as Administrator" option.

To fix the issue and get past that error, please:

1) Make sure you are a member of the local Administrators group.

2) If you are logged into the machine as a domain user, make sure you are on a network that can reach the domain server. If the domain server is unreachable, the prerequisite check will fail.

3) If you don't want to directly log into the machine as a domain user (who is member of local Administrators group), please create a local user, add the user to the local Administrators group and log in to Windows system using that local user. 

(and as I mentioned you do not need to run setup.exe using "Run as Administrator" - it won't make a difference).

Let me know if this helps you.

Christian

I am part of the Local Administrators Grop. However, I am still getting this error. I am at my wit's end - not sure how to resolve this issue
