Am trying to update to latest version

Windows 7 64 bit, existing version of Libre Office 2.8.2

Am trying to update to latest version but for some unknown reason I keep getting a message ‘System Adminstrator has a policy to prevent this type of installation’.
I am the administrator and have not set any policies (I do not know how to to anyway)
Help please

I recommend to cross check if

  • You really have administrator rights
  • The extension of the downloaded file type is msi.

If the file type is not msi, download LibO msi file from here: http://www.libreoffice.org/
After the download check if the file type is msi. If not change it to msi.

When upgrading from an old version like 2.8.2 to 4.3. or 4.4 I recommend to save the user profile with a different name to be on the save side for the case that something can go wrong. If you run into troubles. uninstall the old version completely and make a new installation. Thereafter move back folder by folder from your old installation and test if all works.

Thank you
Checked Administrator Status and for some reason I had been demoted to a Standard User
