Windows installer error

#1 Post by lemmerdeur » Sat Nov 12, 2011 2:10 pm

I have a thinkpad T42P I did a fresh retail install of Win 7 ultimate. I am the administrator as I am the only one using my laptop. I tried to install Thinkvantage System updade (Systemupdade315-2011-7-25.exe) but Windows installer give me an error: <The System administrator has set policies to prevent installation>
How can I enable the installation?

You need to install the correct version for your OS, which in this case would be System Update version 4.01.
Collection = T500 - R400 - X300 - X200 - T61 (14" WXGA+) - T61 (14.1" SXGA+) - T60 (15" SXGA+) - X40 - T43p - T43 - T42p - A30P - 600E

Thank you so much, Neil. I didn't realized that I was trying to install the version for XP instead of 7. It was in front of my eyes but... I guess my sight and brain are not what they use to be. I am still so used to XP that it became an habit.
Thank you again
