Go to windows/system32/drivers and just try to Delete or Rename
Cdrom.sys and u will get the Trustinstaller Error .

I did find the setting for trustinstaller Via Help and it has the same
menu's similar to administration rights.. But it was Greek to me .

And how are you trying to replace this file? Sounds to me like you're not
doing it the right way.

It's TrustedInstaller.

In the hierarchy of Vista\Win7 security TrustedInstaller is the top.
The levels are something like:
Guest
User
Administrators
The Administrator
System
TrustedInstaller

Most of the system files are owned by TrustedInstaller and you
change permissions at your peril! You could easily crash the
system. I think that's why the 'Take Ownership' option was
removed from the right-click menu in the final Win7 release.

I see this was partially answered.

1. Log in as the user account
2. In the search at the bottom left from start type in "cmd.exe" wo quotes, right click the application and "run as administrator".
3. Type in "net user administrator /active:no" wo quotes and hit enter
4. You should receive a successful notice.
5. Type "exit"

This worked for me.
