Description
When trying to install as standard user account receive error 0x80070659 installation is forbidden by system policy.
If I elevate to an admin account the software installs into the admin's profile, not mine.
Need a way to specify installation directory, or to install application system-wide.
Version 1.0.47
OS Server 2016
