Re: [amibroker] Installing AB when not the administrator

["Tomasz Janeczko" <amibroker@xxxxxx>]

Steve,
 
AB setup needs to be run as admin because it needs to create 
OLE automation server entries (for OLE COM objects)
in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. 
This key is writable only when you are logged in as admin, 
ordinary users have read-only access to this part of the Windows 
registry.
 
QT does not have OLE automation interface at all so it 
does not need to have write access to this part of the registry.
 
<FONT

computer and just copying to the other machine,
but of course OLE automation will not work properly in that 
case.

  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?

      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!
