Msiexec batch file for Vista

Here's a batch file to run msiexec in administrator mode. Just put this on your desktop, and drag and drop the .msi file onto it. It will create a log file of the installation too. Use it as a last resort, as there are some disadvantages to this method.
Wikipedia states:
An administrative installation is not a typical installation, in that it does not create any shortcuts, register COM servers, create an Add or Remove Programs entry, and so on.

You do not have permission to open the application Canon IJScanner2

YOU DO NOT HAVE THE PERMISSIONS! Ugh. Upgrading to Big Sur 11.5.1 murdered my old flatbed scanner, which I use all the time. Evidently, it's a problem for many many   many people. The following sequence worked, but I can't guarantee that it will work for you as well, since I deleted, added, re-deleted, upgraded and downgraded all kinds of files until it finally showed up without an error: Delete the scanner from Preferences Delete Canon utilities Remove any Canon-related files from /Library/Printers/Canon Remove any Canon-related files from /Library/Image Capture/Devices Reboot Install the misd-mac-ijscanner2-4_1_4-ea21_3 driver Don't install the LiDE 210 Scanner Driver Ver.18.2.0 (Mac) file, that seems to be both useless and part of the overall problem. Just use Image Capture and you should be fine.

Southwest Ding requires an administrator to install

Seriously? I need to be an administrator to install the annoying little "you are now free to move about the country" notification icon? A limited user can install Firefox but can't install the Ding!? Bad programming if you ask me, but a simple fix: install on another machine as Administrator copy the file DingParser.dll from \windows\system (or system32, if that's where it ended up) to the \Program Files\Southwest\Ding folder zip up the Ding folder and copy it to the other computer, unzip it somewhere convenient, and put a shortcut in your Startup folder
