Summary: Setup needs administrative privileges Product: Wine Version: 0.9 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-binary AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: postmaster@pcos.dyndns.org
I am having the same problem as mentioned in Bug #2224.
I am trying to install 3ds max on Wine. When I launch the installer, it complains about not having administrative privileges and exits. 3ds max requires 2000/XP for installation, so reverting to Windows 98 is not possible.
Is there any way to make Wine assume that I have administative privileges across the board?
