Engineering computers have security policies in place that restrict executables and scripts from running except when excuted from a predefined white-listed folder. When installing software on your Engineering computer, please follow one of these two methods.
Method #1 (Preferred Method)
- Copy the excutable/script to a white-listed folder (Here is a list of white-listed folders).
- Double-click the executable.
- Enter your administrator account and password when prompted.
Method #2
- Right-click the executable and choose "Run as Administrator".
- Enter your administrator account and password when prompted.
- NOTE: There are instances in which an application will unzip files and try to run additional execuables/scripts during the installation process. When this happens, it is best to use Method #1 above.
NOTE: It is against UT policy, best practices and is dangerous to use your administrative account for every day use, like reading email and browsing the web.
