Hi Re-Na,
Try this:
1.Open control Panel and go to Administrative Tools.
2.In Administrative tools open Local Security Policy. (if you don't
find, run SECPOL.MSC /S)
3.In Local Security Policy right click Software Restriction Policies
and click “New Software Rectriction Policy”.
4.Now Left click on software restriction policies and in the
right-hand window you should see enforcement.
5.Double-click on enforcement and set the policy to apply to “ALL
USERS EXCEPT LOCAL ADMINISTRATORS”
If that doesn't work, try this:
start/run, type: "gpedit.msc", OK, Local Computer Policy/ computer
configuration/ administrator templates/ windows components/ windows
installer, "disable windows installer".
If that doesn't work, try this:
