You first need to create a local user or use an existing user account: Īnd then add that user to the Administrators group:
I got it to work by logging into the machine with a local user account that is in the Administrators group. I had to install my Canon MP980 software on to my new Windows 7 laptop and even though my domain account is in the Administrators group I was getting this error: “To install the software, you must log on as a member of the Administrators group.” I tried right click “Run as Administrator” and then running from Command Prompt with Administrator privileges, neither worked.
