Lab Manager MKS Console Browser Plug-In on Windows Can Be Installed Only by a Windows Administrator

Details

On Microsoft Windows other than Vista, users who are not administrators need administrator privileges to install a one-time MKS console browser plug-in to access the Lab Manager console.
After installing this plug-in, any user can access the MKS console.
 
On Windows Vista, you must be the administrator to install and use the MKS console browser plug-in, when the User Account Control (UAC) is enabled. When the UAC is disabled, any user with administrative privileges can install the plug-in and any user can use MKS console.

Solution

To install the Lab Manager MKS console browser plug-in on Windows other than Vista, you must have administrator privileges on the machine. On Vista, you must be the system administrator.
Download and install the MKS plug-in when the browser prompts you to, initially. To access the console on both IE and Mozilla Firefox, log in as administrator on Windows and install the plug-in separately for both the browsers.
On Windows Vista edition, disable the UAC, so that any user with administrator privileges can install MKS console browser plug-in.
 
Warning: Disabling UAC reduces the security of your machine.
 
  1. Open a Windows explorer in Vista.
  2. Go to the Control Panel\User Accounts\User Accounts.
  3. Click Turn User Account Control on or off.
  4. Click Continue on the permissions dialog box.
  5. Deselect the Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer and click OK.
  6. Restart your Windows machine.
