How to install Native Access 2 in Windows 11 in a non-admin user account

Should not need admin at all.

This would imply that every user worldwide would need admin and that is simply not the case.

Some screenshots would help. But I think there is something else going on here.

Hello musiq, here is the Knowledge Base Article that can help you with this subject:

Fixing Software Update Installation Issues (Windows)

I hope this helps☺️

Thank you for your response, but I never had this "Uninstall error".
It is a brand new computer, so there is no need to uninstall anything.
I cannot select any product, because no products were installed.
I need to install Native Access 2 first.

The error is about permissions.

Is it possible to install Native Access 2 in Windows 11 in a non-admin user account?

You keep saying the error is about permissions, but not actually posting the error.

Exactly this.

Without the actual error condition - we are flailing in the dark here.

Hello musiq, I sent this as the workaround could also help with this subject.

But, can you please send us the screenshot so we can understand the issue easier and help you to solve that as soon as possible.

I hope this helps☺️

My first question can be answered without any screenshot.

Is it possible to install Native Access 2 in a non-admin user account of Windows 11?

If the answer is YES, then the next question is HOW.

This appears if I try to run Native-Access_2 as administrator

I just would like to have all music software in one non-administrator account.

(It is a new computer, my old computer still has Windows 10 and Native Access 1.)

You have some major issues if you cannot even run a program from the official Start Menu.

Local admin should not be a requirement as that would mean everyone in the world would need it. Not aware of anything like that.

Hello musiq, The first answer is yes. According to this issue, I will contact with our technical team so I will let you know when they get back to me about that.

I hope this helps☺️

Hello musiq, can you start Native Access from the Prgram Files > Native Instruments > Native Access folder?

I cannot start the installation file = I cannot install Native Access 2.

That is why I asked: Is it possible to install Native Access 2 in Windows 11 in a non-admin user account?

Nothing is in Program Files on a computer where NI/NA was never installed.

Native Access 2 was never installed, so nothing is there.

The error message is about accessing (about not being able to access) that path.
This is the standard path where the installer tried to install Native Access 2, but could not.
Permissions were missing to access this path and permissions were missing to install files into this folder (this path). The software is not able to create, copy or move files into this folder where it does not have access.

I have only the installation file that I download into the Downloads folder, but never able to install Native Access 2.

That is why I asked: Is it possible to install Native Access 2 in Windows 11 in a non-admin user account?
