Thank you PB-Team!

I have just installed PB 6.02 and it won't launch, the error is:

error while loading shared libraries: libz.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

but I can see libz.so.1 is in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ so that's not the real error.
Does anybody have any ideas?

** edit **
Just ignore me, I'd downloaded the 32 bit version

Great news!
Note that, I was able to install "PureBasic 6.02 beta 2" onto current user by a command line switch to setup, no admin rights were necessary. But with PureBasic 6.02 LTS, it requires admin rights even with /CURRENTUSER argument.

I would be rather surprised if a setup can be installed without requiring admin rights.

It install in program files if you choose 'Install for all users' as you need admin rights. If you choose to install only for you, it install in your private appdata folder.

I install most applications for my user only, if they support. They installed into C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\<folder>
And it was supported in PB 6.02 Beta 2 setup.
I'm also sure that I read somewhere in this forum (in a changelog IIRC) it IS fixed to support that mode, but cannot find it.

Even my current installation is at C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Programs\PureBasic.

I've used InnoSetup to install non-admin apps for the last 7 years.

Innosetup is inverted for 6,0x version in order to maintain XP compatibilty (thats probably reason for non admin rights)

According to fred will be again at version 6,10 , a a version who will drop XP support

It install in program files if you choose 'Install for all users' as you need admin rights. If you choose to install only for you, it install in your private appdata folder. To use the C backend, you need to add it in the compilers (in IDE preferences -> Compilers -> add)

So, clearly there is something missed here.
With /CURRENTUSER we should be able to use non administrative install mode.

In the setup project, PrivilegesRequiredOverridesAllowed setting should either commandline or dialog. Default is blank which prevents non-admin install mode. Also PrivilegesRequired should be lowest, default is admin. https://jrsoftware.org/ishelp/index.php ... nstallmode

I hope this fixed soon, as my company policy doesn't allow me to install any application.
