No Admin required for installation

[Tranquil]

Hello PB Team.

Atm it is not possible to install PB without admin privileges. I'm not able to install the latest version to my USB stick at work, I need to do it at home where I have admin rights.

Is it possible to install anyway without admin rights?

I've never installed as a limited user but you can definitely just copy your PureBasic folder to another PC and run it there, without needing to install it. I guess just the actual setup app requires admin rights?

Its the setup exe that needs admin rights, yes. But its since version 4.20 I guess. (As the new installer has been introduced)

What happens if you run it in compatibility mode for Windows 98?

Its a windows 2000 system where this is no option. Maybe there are some (yet undocumented) command-line parameters for the install process?

You can enable compatibility mode in Win2K if you have admin rights (which you don't) -> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/279792 -- just mentioning this in case you thought Win2K doesn't have that option. Anyway, the easiest solution to your problem is just to copy your PureBasic folder to your USB stick at home, then run it from there at work with the /portable command-line switch.
