can't install logos on my computer

Hi,

I'm trying to install logos on my computer, and I get this error message. "The selected user does not have sufficient privileges to complete the setup. Please choose Administrator from the run as dialogue."

I talked with my tech support company which runs my computer, and said I have administrative privileges on my machine. I talked to faith-life support, and they seem to think I don't have these permissions. I read on the forums that it might be an issue at the end of my computer support company. Basically, I have a work computer, and they set up my user as user@mydomain.com, and I'm listed in the administrator group. But I need to run it on administrator@mydomain.com

I'm trying to avoid calling back and forth, so any help is appreciated.

So you know, I have Widows 10 pro, it runs 64 pit apps, it's an ASUS machine. I'm guessing the issue is I'm not a top level administrator.

Thanks

HI Fr. Tim - and welcome to the forums

Actually Logos is not designed to run under an administrator account but under a normal user account.

Logos can run in an Administrator Account (which I've always done) but without Admin privilege. But it has to be installed locally in a domain setup.

One unfortunate thing about FL developers is that they quite often use unclear or wrong error messages, in that they state that an error occurred and a likely reason for that error that may or may not be true. I think I remember seeing that error message when I tried to install Logos on an exFAT-formatted external drive (Logos will run fine - though officially unsupported - on external SSDs but the drive needs to be NTFS formatted) - maybe that's your issue?

If not that, it would probably be good to have FL tech support log on remotely into your computer and install Logos.
