Re: [amibroker] Installing AB when not the administrator

["Steve Dugas" <sjdugas@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Jason,
 
I did try logging in as admin - of course, it 
wanted a password that I didnt have. Cant ask any 
of the administrators, I dont really know them too well and it is a huge 
company, they try very hard to protect their network from problems 
introduced by the employees - very security conscious when it comes 
to what the emplyees are allowed to with internet, installing 
applications, etc. I was more curious to find out why the OS (WinXP) let me 
install QT without a peep, and refused to let me install AB. What is AB's 
install doing ( and QT's install *not* doing) that Windows wont 
allow?

  The 
  easy way is to simply log in as administrator (or have your tech guy do it) 
  install ab then you should have access to it when you log in as 
  yourself...

    Installing AB when not the administrator
    Hi All,
     
    I would like to install AB on my computer at 
    work, but when I try, I get a meessage saying this program can only be 
    installed by the administrator. However, it let me install QuoteTracker with 
    no problem. Would anyone happen to know:
     
    1. How windows determines which .exe's a 
    non-administrator is allowed to install? Does it have anything to do 
    with whether the install is trying to change the registry?
     
    2. Any way I can get around this? I tried 
    renaming AB's setup to the name of QT's setup but windows still wont let me 
    install.
     
    Thanks very much!
