Installing Adaxes 2026.1

Getting error during installation, Softwrra Adaxes 2026.1 Setup - Could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficent privileges to install system service.

the service account and my account both have local admin rights on the servers. Any help would be appreciated. Nothing in the event viewer that points toward an issue that I can find.

Hello,

The error looks to be related to your environment settings, not the permissions granted to the Adaxes service account. Most probably, it is about UAC. As an option, you can try running the installation as administrator. To do so, start command prompt as administrator and use the below command. In the command, <path_to_package> is the path to the Adaxes installation package.

msiexec /i "<path_to_package>\adaxes.msi"
