Installing ActiveX via User Config > Software Install Fails?

[bblackmore]

Hi,

I have an ActiveX control (SafeView) that appears to require that it's installed for each user that logs in - I have logged in as Admin, installed it, tested the website that requires it, then logged out, and asked another standard user to login and test, and the website asks for the ActiveX control to be installed again.

So I setup a group policy to install the SafeView.msi ActiveX as a User Config > Software Installation. However when I get a standard user to login, this software install fails with the following error:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: MsiInstaller
Event Category: None
Event ID: 10005
Date: 13/12/2011
Time: 11:56:49
User: DOMAIN\test.user1
Computer: TESTPC1
Description:
Product: SafeView -- Only administrator can run this setup

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Application Management
Event Category: None
Event ID: 102
Date: 13/12/2011
Time: 11:56:49
User: DOMAIN\test.user1
Computer: TESTPC1
Description: The install of application SafeView from policy SWI - SafeView Deployment failed. The error was : Fatal error during installation.

I thought group policy software installs ran with Admin privilages? If not, how can I deploy this ActiveX control to every user that logs on to a PC without a) doing it manually, or b) making them local admins?

Many thanks

Ben

Have you tried applying the software install to the Computer side instead so it installs for everyone on the computer?
