Mac Forum / Applications / Virtual PC / February 2007Must Be Admin, I AM ADMIN!
When I try to install Virtual PC on my G5, non-Intel, it says I have to be logged in with an administrators account. I am the only administrator!! I go to accounts and yup, only me as admin. I have one other user and it just says standard for them but Admin for me. What gives? I tried un-installing and re-installing to know avail. Help!

Something went wrong with the original installer. Insert the first installation CD. Open the Manuals & Tools folder. Uninstall Virtual PC. Restart your Mac. Try the installation again. I assume you mean that Windows wants you to log in as administrator. The administrator is the one with the final say for logging in and passwords - in other words the owner of the computer. Otherwise, there is no difference between an admin account and a standard account. If you do not want to be prompted for a password when you log in/start up Windows, go to your Win Control Panel > User Accounts. Click on Administrator, then Create a password. Type in the password you used when installing VPC, then leave the new password fields blank. You will no longer be prompted for a password when you startup. If your problem is that your Mac OS is stating you need to provide a password in order to install the program, that is standard and will happen for any program you try to install on the Mac. If you didn't setup a password, then find out who did and get the password in order to install the program. > On Jan 15, 11:35 pm, joeye...@gmail.com wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > installation CD. Open the Manuals & Tools folder. Uninstall Virtual PC. > Restart your Mac. Try the installation again. It actually is asking for me to be logged in as admin during the installation process. After I install Virtual PC and before I install Windows. It happens after I am supposed to restart the computer. When it reboots it doesn't ask for me to type in any information but just pops up a window that says I need to log in as an admin and I cannot continue and the only button I can select is close. The problem is that I am logged in as an admin so I don't know why it says I am not. I did uninstal the program and reinstal 2 more times and each time I got the same problem. It is not an Intel g5 so I am stuck!!. > It actually is asking for me to be logged in as admin during the > installation process.

It is not an Intel g5 so I am stuck!!. I gave you the solution. Why aren't you using it??? I did. read the last 2 lines. I uninstalled it and reinstalled and still had the same problem, tried a bunch of other things to no avail so uninstalled and reinstalled again. Still didn't work. > > It actually is asking for me to be logged in as admin during the > > installation process.

Hi. I am also having the same problem on my G5, having installed, re- installed, etc. Have you been able to find a solution? Oddly, I was able to install, using the same disk, on my G4 17" titanium. Any experiences you have with success would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

Hello. What os are you using on your laptop...i have the same [g4 17 ti] but no cd? The download from my college msdn site doesn't work on this or my imac g4. Can anyone at all explain the *.app format of this download and everything it requires for installation if I am administrator for both macs? I only get authorization errors and...nothing. Thanks bunches.
