How to Add "Run as administrator" to Context Menu of MSI Files in W10

Run as administrator - Add to MSI File Context Menu - Windows 7 Help Forums

Is this still applicable for windows 10?
I have not yet attempted to do this.

In my Downloads folder there are right click options to Install / Repair / Uninstall the LibreOffice installation file.
I upgraded from windows 7 64 bit to windows 10 on my Lenovo G560 laptop.

I have looked at the Local Services setting for Windows Installer.
The Manual option was off and I have started the service. There is no option (or I am unable) to switch to Automatic.

I have previously tried run the following commands from the cmd prompt as administrator.
C:\WINDOWS\system32>sfc /scannow
- no errors were found. :)

I then followed the instructions to unregister and re-register Windows installer :

1. On the "Start" menu, Type Run in the search bar and hit enter.
2. In the "Open" box, type "msiexec /unreg", and then press ENTER.
3. On the "Start" menu, Type” Run” in the search bar and hit enter.
4. In the "Open" box, type "msiexec /regserver", and then press ENTER.

The other command I tried from the cmd prompt as administrator for the file filename.msi
C:\WINDOWS\system32>msiexec.exe /i C:\myfoldername\filename

I got the following message.
"The installation package could not be opened. Verify that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package."

I have downloaded the .msi file twice, and have downloaded from this site on many occasions without problems.

Hello Kaboki. and welcome to Ten Forums. :)

Yes, that tutorial to add "Run as administrator" to the context menu of .msi files will still work in Windows 10.

Cheers. Worked a treat.
