Hello Larry G Coleman,

This is a common problem and most of the people are complaining about this problem. Now I have research in the net, but it was much fruitful. But at least give it a try.

1. Press windows key + R to open run option.
2. Then type services.msc and press enter.
3. On the services MMC windows right click on Office software Protection Platform and choose properties.
4. Select the LOG ON tab.
5. Then change the ‘Log on as’ info from ‘This Account’  to ‘Local System Account’.
6. Click apply and press ok.

Hope it helps!

Thank You,

Wagner Desantiago

Hi,

This error is a simple user rights error.

The cause of this error is usually that you don't have the rights to install the new applications or software on the computer that are connected in a working environment.

The solution can be to contact the administrator and tell him/her to install the software using the administrator privileges and the software will install properly this time.
If you are the administrator and the software is still not installing then run the application as administrator and this will solve the issue!

Hope you got your answer! 🙂
