See Install log error: 'Failed due to insufficient privileges' | Creative Cloud.
When you're installing a Creative Suite product, the following error appears in your Creative Suite product installer log file:
Nov 21, 2012 Adobe's Flash Player needs elevated rights during installation, if the user has only standard rights it cannot be installed; At least not the standard way. Lets assume you have access rights to use a computer at school, work or a public place, maybe on a company laptop or at a school library. If you can't get the admin password (or rights), or if the administrator forgets his password, you can remove the admin password, so that you can install (.exe) programs without any admin password. To remove an admin password in Windows 10, you can take the following steps.
Exit Code: 14 – Failed due to insufficient privileges
This error means you aren't logged in to an account with administrator privileges.
You must run the Creative Suite installer from an account with administrator privileges. Creative Suite products won't install if you use the Run As command from a standard (restricted) user account.
Solution: Log in to an admin account or create a temporary local admin account
Log out of your current user account and log in to an account with administrator privileges. Then try installing the product again.
Don't have an account with admin privileges? Create a temporary local admin account. Creating a new local admin account can eliminate corrupt accounts or group policy objects that can prevent the product from installing.

To create a new local admin account, refer to the instructions for your operating system:
See Set up users on your Mac.
See Create a local user account in Windows 10.
See Create a user account | Windows 8.

Hello All Experts,I have about 140 PC's on our WAN, all part of a a single Domain (Windows 2003). A large percentage of our users do not have Adminstrator rights, but I am hoping that there is a way for Non Admins to install Java Updates, as well as Adobe Reader updates without having Admin Rights. I am not versed at all in creating scripts, but I am not bad when it comes to creating Group Policy objects. Also as we all know, Java always tries to install some secondary application like a toolbar, a backup program, etc... and I do not want these secondary applications installed. We really do not use a lot of applications that require Java, but the ones that we do, usually always require the newest version. And does it not seem odd of late, that Adobe Reader has been updating almost every week, as well as Java?
Any ideas would be most appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
