Environment

Release : 10.4.x

Cause

User Account Control (UAC) component is turned 'on' on the Windows system.

Details are provided in the following section of the Spectrum documentation
https://techdocs.broadcom.com/content/broadcom/techdocs/us/en/ca-enterprise-software/it-operations-management/spectrum/10-4/installing-and-upgrading/fresh-install/prerequisites-for-installing-ca-spectrum/prerequisites-for-windows.html#concept.dita_fc015b46045987aa95203d9c4a7d78b86ef4aab9_UserAccountControlUAC    

User Account Control (UAC)


To install CA Spectrum as a user other than Administrator, User Account Control (UAC) must be turned off. UAC is a Windows security component that prompts you for permission when a task requires administrator privileges.
[...]  
Note: Disabling UAC is required for CA Spectrum installation as a user other than Administrator only. After installation and during normal CA Spectrum operation, UAC can be enabled
