Running the Installation Wizard as an administrator to ensure sufficient privileges for setup When installing Tableau Server on Windows, it is crucial to run the Installation Wizard as an administrator. This ensures that the installer has the necessary privileges to access system resources and configure settings required for the successful installation of Tableau Server. Option A is incorrect because while antivirus or firewall software can sometimes interfere with installations, it’s not recommended to disable all security software as a first step. Option C is incorrect as automatically updating system drivers during the installation is not a standard requirement for installing Tableau Server. Option D is incorrect because setting up a dedicated virtual machine is not a requirement for installing Tableau Server, though it can be an option based on organizational policies.
