Installation on Win XP without admin rights
Hello,
I am happily using on my home machine (Linux Ubuntu) and I try to get is installed on my work laptop (WinXp) without the admin rights.
Here is what I have tried - Use the EXE install package: Installation stopped because of lack of admin rights
- Use of Java webstart installation. -- Installation when well and I have a menu option pointing to "C:\WINDOWS\system32\javaws.exe -offline "C:\Documents and Settings\Fincra\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\javaws\http\Dwww.sweethome3d.com\P80\AMSweetHome3D.jnlp" -- I get the splash screen then nothing. -- I could not find any log
- use of the jar file -- launch by using the command "java -jar SweetHome3D-3.0.jar" -- I got the splash screen and the following error message 20 janv. 2011 09:46:35 java.util.prefs.WindowsPreferences <init> ATTENTION: Could not open/create prefs root node Software\JavaSoft\Prefs at root 0x80000002.

Re: Installation on Win XP without admin rights
The Java 1.5.0_07 version you use is quite old. It would be nice if you could update it. That would require admin rights though, but try to convince the administrator of the computer that version 1.5 (or Java SE 5.0 which is the same) reached its end of life a while ago.

Re: Installation on Win XP without admin rights
Hi,
Problem was actually the JRE. It has been a struggle to find java distribution that does not update the registery nor for you to install in program file (typically forbidden when you are not admin).
