hello All...

I want to Install Powerpivot and I have 2 server 1)sql server 2)sharepoint server

my account has this permission on each server

on sql server:

- local admin

- db-owner

on sharepoint server:

- local admin

- Farm admin

on network

- enterprise admin

but every time I want to install power pivot on sharepoint server , When I got to Installation Rules level  I got this Error:

How Can I Solve It ????

You  may have Admin rights on each server.

Please check out for Farm Administrator permission on machine where Sharepoint Central admin is present.

Please make sure that you login to the server using Setup account and run the setup file "Run as administrator".
