Since installed SSD, software installation behavior has changed, need help.

[kbilal]

I upgraded my PC with an SSD. Using SSD for operating system and programs, and HDD for storage. I’m encountering a problem since I installed SSD.

 

The problem is that when I run a setup file in order to install a program/software, something refuses to install it. But when I right click on same setup file and click on ‘Run as Administrator’ then installation goes fine. It happen for all programs no exception. This behavior is not that annoying but when it comes to auto updates then it becomes a pain. For example when Firefox or Skype has an auto update to install on my machine a message appears giving me two options, update or cancel. When click on update button, nothing happens. Whenever I need to update a program I have to download it manually and run the setup file as administrator in order to update or install the program. Please help…

 

System Info:
Processor: i7 870 2.9 GHz
Board: Gigabyte P55-USB3
SSD: Kingston HyperX 3k 240GB (SH103S3/240G)
HDD: WESTERN DIGITAL CAVIAR GREEN 1TB
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Security: AVG Free

Could you expand on "refuses to install it", what does it do?

Also did you do a clean install or did you move the OS from your hard drive to the SSD by migrating it?

A clean OS install is always the best way to migrate to an SSD.  That way you don't run into any weird problems such as the one you describe.

You should try doing a clean install of windows if you can.

Yes, I did a clean install on SSD. Actually when I click setup file, a common security warning appears asking me Run or Cancel, once I click on Run then this warning disappears and nothing happens then.

hmmm!!  that is weird.  I wonder what's causing it.  I hope it's not a virus or something.

Check from User Accounts that you are administrator. Change UAC settings to zero security. If still not working,create new account to be administrator and try installing with that. Then there's repair install.

Agreed.  This is a good first step in the right direction.
