[Qemu-devel] Win2000 as guest - unable to install any software under Win2000

[Qemu-devel] Win2000 as guest - unable to install any software under Win2000

[Peter Taaffe]

Hi to you all!

I finally managed to run Win2000 as guest under qemu (0.6.2)
on Debian sarge OS yesterday. 

Unfortunately I do have a very strange problem – it seems, 
that I can not install any other software under Win2000 – 
even when I’m logged in as Administrator.

I tried to install different things as Administrator, but I 
always got an error message, which said something like: 
“you do not have the permission to install software – please log in as 
administrator”

I’m also unable to run the Windows update (as Administrator) – 
it ends with the same result.

Has anyone of you ever noticed the same problems and solved them?

Many thanks in advance for all your help!!!

Cheers,

Peter

Something like this can happen in domain environments if group
policies get applied that disallow the local admin from installing
software.

Make sure administrators have permissions in the following:
Control Panel --> Admin Tools ---> Computer Management --> Local
Security Policy
 
Well i don't have a win2000 machine in front of me to tell you exactly
what to look for but there are entries for installing sw and hw.

Peter - 

You need to run scedit.msc to correct the local policy. Do you see
errors in the event viewer saying that the local policy couldn't be
created?

Read through my experience with w2k and qemu -
