How to solve “the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation” 2012 r2

I was trying to install CrashPlan for a specific user so I could backup a network mapped drive, this sucked I think at least 10 hours of my life to figure this out:

1. Open ‘Local security Policy’ by running ‘Secpol.msc’ in the command line.

2. Go to – Local Policies -> Security Options.

3. On the right side scroll down to ‘User Account Control: run all Administrators in admin approval mode’.

4. Change the setting to ‘Disabled’.  (YES DISABLED!!!)

5. Restart the server. (Important)

If this helped you, refractionist  consider buying me coffee!   Thanks!  Thanks in advance!
