Description and workaround for Error 1722 (UAC error)
== Error 1722 workaround ==
Windows UAC (User Account Control) can cause the client to fail with a message like the following:
''You must have an administrative privilege to run this tool.''
This happens even when being launched by an `Administrator', and after receiving a UAC popup. The WPKG logs show this:
<BLOCKQUOTE>Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action _A9459942_EE79_497A_9080_F39DDA8A7B80, location: C:\Program Files\wpkg\wpkginst.exe, command: --SETTINGSFILE=</BLOCKQUOTE>
The solution is to launch a command window with elevated privileges and use that to start the installer. Quoting from [http://lists.wpkg.org/pipermail/wpkg-users/2012-April/008727.html one post of many]:
# Make shortcut to cmd.exe, click on it with right button and select runas admin, then "cd" to path where installer is and run your msiexec command.
# For install across network or localy use "psexec" from Systeminternals with localhost and "-h" parameters, eg. "psexec -h localhost msiexec /le wpkg_error.txt /i WPKG_Client_1.3.14-x64.msi"
