Pathfinder 11 Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) EDIT: So I finally was able to install editor 4.2 update over the other and now all is well. Have not tried to unstall again. But I cannot activate it but I have reached out to Celomony I cannot do this. I get a user acccount control error saying an administartor has stopped me from running the installer....although I am UNINSTALLING? Win 10.....UAC is off and always has been. I am the admin. Wish I could post the error dialog box. Here is the dialog box info. I have tried right clicking and get the repair or remove. I choose remove. Nope. I choose repair nope. all back to the same error. Guess I should try safe mode but I do not get this at all. I wanted to do a clean install of my Melodyne 4.2 editor. These are the words in the red title bar of the boxUser account control This app has been blocked for your protection. Then in the bottom of the dialog box it says: An Administrator has blocked you from running this app. For more info contact the administrator (I am the fricken admin ) C\Windows\installer\bb7200b.msiPublisher unknown File origin: hard drive on this computer Program location: update 1.02 Celemony Software GmbH English (United States) C\windows\installer\bb7200.msi Thanks Edited May 22, 2019 by Pathfinder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is a hidden admin. Type command in the search box and as command prompt comes in the list, right click and Run as Administrator. Now type this command to enable hidden admin. net user administrator /active:yes There are spaces after net, user, administrator, and no space after / Now when you type this command and press enter, you get message like Administrator activated successfully. Click on windows icon and click on your account picture to sign out. You will see a picture less administrator account. Login to that and uninstall Melodyne runtime in the uninstall app feature. Now go back to your normal account and disable this hidden admin. net user administrator /active:no A thanks will be appreciated. 😜 9 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pathfinder 11 Posted October 12, 2019 (edited) I apoligize but I do not remember how I solved this. I am pretty sure it was Celemony support. I also believe Nitish's post will work also. I believe this is about what support told me also. It is great advice and worth copy\paste and save. I will try to retrace exactly what I did if it would help. I'll look thru my emails because I did receive great support from Celemony on this. Edited October 12, 2019 by Pathfinder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Some Guy 80 Posted October 12, 2019 (edited) Right Click Windows Menu (or Lower Left Corner of Primary Monitor) Open Command Prompt (Admin) Command: cd C:\Windows\Installer Run the installer in the error box when you try to uninstall it from Add-Remove Programs - It gives you the full path to it - write it down on paper if you have to. The installer will start, and you will be able to uninstall the Melodyne Runtime Edited October 12, 2019 by Some Guy 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arne Stuemges 0 Posted January 19, 2020 I want to thank Nitish Sharma! in had the same issue with Studio One / Melodyne after upgrading to Melodyne Studio. His fix worked for me. After applying, i could do a fresh new install with the Melodyne Installer of both the Melodyne Studio 4.2 and the Melodyne 4.1 Runtime . I guess this rights issue is the consequence of - in my case - the presonus studio one installer that installed the melodyne runtime before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Richard M. 0 Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) @Some Guy 's solution works!!! At least it worked for me. You have to run Command Prompt as an Administrator. This can be done by right clicking the command prompt program. Edited March 28, 2020 by Richard M. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Milan Kumar 0 Posted May 19, 2020 Thank you @Nitish Sharma Your idea worked like a breeze You also showed me the way to get administrator user access Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonas Fjallstrom 0 Posted May 23, 2020 I solved this by logging on with the local administrator account. If you go to Windows Administrative Tools/Computer Management/Local Users And Groups/Users, you will find an account with the following description: "Built-in account for administering the computer/domain" Right click the account, choose properties. Uncheck the checkbox "Account is disabled" and click apply. Now you can log in to windows using that account, you need to go through the initial set up procedure for the account first. When you're logged on you can uninstall via the Control Panel/Programs and Features. For security, check the "Account is disabled" on the local administrator account again (while logged on as yourself). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
