Fail to install Service Fabric Runtime 8.2, throw error "This API requires administrator privileges on the local machine."

Question

I'm trying to install the Azure Service Fabric Runtime (downloaded as ServiceFabric standalone) thru my PowerShell (yes, I'm running PowerShell as Admin) from my local machine but it always fails and throws following 3-error messages:

2021/12/07-02:01:37.120,Error,26108,SystemFabricDeployer.SFDeployer,This API requires administrator privileges on the local machine.
2021/12/07-02:01:39.251,Error,26108,SystemFabricDeployer.SFDeployer,Best Practices Analyzer determined environment has an issue. Please see additional BPA log output in DeploymentTraces folder.
2021/12/07-02:01:39.252,Error,26108,SystemFabricDeployer.SFDeployer,Cluster Setup cancelled due to validation error(s) found by Best Practices Analyzer. Inspect details in DeploymentTraces log folder local to executing location.

The command I use is:
.\CreateServiceFabricCluster.ps1 -ClusterConfigFilePath .\ClusterConfig.Unsecure.DevCluster.json -AcceptEULA

I even downloaded the Runtime Cab file (which is 153MB in size) into the folder DeploymentRuntimePackages and ran the following command but still same error:
.\CreateServiceFabricCluster.ps1 -ClusterConfigFilePath .\ClusterConfig.Unsecure.DevCluster.json -FabricRuntimePackagePath .\DeploymentRuntimePackages\MicrosoftAzureServiceFabric.8.2.1235.9590.cab -AcceptEULA -Verbose

Here is the screenshot of error:

I followed the official page of Microsoft how to install Service Fabric:

Appreciate your help.

@Khan, Amir

Apologies in delayed response on this.

Try to enable powershell script execution and then try deployment. Ref document.

You can run your command in debug mode like below which will show exactly error details where it is failing.

.\CreateServiceFabricCluster.ps1 -ClusterConfigFilePath .\ClusterConfig.Unsecure.DevCluster.json -AcceptEULA -FabricRuntimePackagePath .\DeploymentRuntimePackages -Debug  

Further if you try to run this in command do you get any error ?

powershell.exe -NoProfile -Command Get-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser   

Hope this helps.
