Force application to install as administrator?

Hi,

I have a software program that installs no problem deployed through SCCM. But it does not work correctly. If I run the installation as administrator locally on the client the software works fine. Is there a way through SCCM to have it install under the administrator account? I am simply installing it using this command:

msiexec /i "Software.msi" /q

TIA

Hi,

Applications are installed using the System context if not install as user is selected. If the application only succeeds when installed as a local administrator you can use a custom Task Sequence and use the Run Command Line step and the option to run it as a specific account. Where you can specify a specific account.

I would try to fix the package instead, either yourself or who ever repacaged it or go back to the vendor.

But it does not work correctly.

What does that mean exactly? Is the installer trying to write to a user profile?

I am not sure what the installer does, from an outside vendor. It is a compatability tool used to see what applications work with windows 10 and reports back the issues. So probably something outside of SCCM is the issue.
