Hi,
I bought Object Desktop a couple of days ago and haven't been able to install it due to a dialogue box popping up saying "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator."
I have never had that come up before.
It was late in the evening and I had been excited to get the various software up and running so it was quite disappointing not to do so and then to find there wasn't support for this other than on a forum.
Of course if this doesn't get resolved then I may look for a refund as it's not working at this time.
I look forward to any suggestions.

Hello,
From your system, it look like you good to go. But, searching on the net on that error message. This came up and it might help you too : https://medium.com/@breich_84283/fix-this-operation-has-been-cancelled-due-to-restrictions-in-effect-on-this-computer-error-ec54825b30f. Try those and report back.
Thank you,

Hi Basj, I've got it up and running. Thank you!
Awesome, glad you get it running.
Was it something in the article that helped or did you try something else? If the latter, what did you do?

Yes Sean it was the registry key suggestion.
I seem to be having this Issue with Windows 10
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7400 CPU @ 3.00GHz 3.00 GHz
8,00 GB
Windows 10 Home Single Language Version 21H1
Purchased on Steam
The message reads: This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator.I have tried to do the regedit specified in a different thread with no success. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing. Issue persists.
Sorry to hear you are having trouble.
Do this:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-a-local-user-or-administrator-account-in-windows-20de74e0-ac7f-3502-a866-32915af2a34d
Then try under it. You can delete it (the new account) after if you wish.
The solution did not work. The regedit article was for XP I think not Win 10.
And before you ask, Yes I tried running it with admin privileges and yes I did de-activate my antivirus before installing...
What did not work, creating a new Win10 admin account did not...?https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-a-local-user-or-administrator-account-in-windows-20de74e0-ac7f-3502-a866-32915af2a34d
Even after adding a new user and going through the horror of creating a new user profile it still did not want to install. The restriction is still not fixed
AWESOME!!!! Thx for all the help.
