You must have local Administrator permissions to install this software

When upgrading ConfigMgr 2012 SP2 to 2012 R2 SP1, the following message is displayed: "You must have local Administrator permissions to install this software". 
Trick is, you must be start splash.hta with Administrator permissions. When right-click on the file this isn't possible.

Dutch error message

Solution: Just start an Elevated Command Prompt (Run as Administrator) and execute splash.hta from there. 
Then it will install fine after all :-)

Hope it helps!
