EXE Files open but do not install packages after reboot

Question

Hello,

Recently, I have been trying to install several apps with their corresponding .exe or .msi files. However, when I go through the install process of all of them, they do not install the app at all after I do my required reboot. I am not an administrator of my system on Windows 11, and am unsure what type of error it is that is preventing these apps from even installing at all. Help?

Sincerely, Mariano Buitrago Barquero

Answer 1

Windows requires administrator privileges to install most applications. When you're not an admin, the system may block installations even if it appears to go through the process.

Contact your system administrator and explain the situation.

Hi Mariano,

Thanks for your post. Based on my research, there is a troubleshooting program that can locate this scenario. The Program Install and Uninstall troubleshooter helps you automatically repair issues when you're blocked from installing or removing programs. It also fixes corrupted registry keys.
