admin install on Win2000Pro : non-admin user cannon change config file #52

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
After installing on Win2000Pro as admin, non-admin user cannot change
configuration (even after copying gpicsync.conf file to the user's profile
and having all proper file permissions).

"""I was trying to use GPicSync software in a teaching lab to demonstrate the
technique, but ran into an issue with non-priviledged user accounts. On
Windows2000Pro, non-admin user cannon change/save config file even after 
manually
copying gpicsync.conf file into user's profile and giving it all read/write
permissions. I've looked everywhere including registry, but cannot find where it
stores the path to the config file."""

Ah Ok I didn't look at this case. 

I don't write at all in the registry. I use the USERPROFILE environnement 
variable at
the installation  and latter when launching the program.

I've just slightly changed the way GPicSync saves the conf file here :
http://francois.schnell.free.fr/gpicsync/temp/latest-build/setup2.exe

Not sure if it will work for you but you can give it a try (if you've already 
copied
a configuration file in the user folder ie C:\Documents and Settings\{username})

Tried the updated version, but it didn't fix the issue. Here is what I get in 
the log
file:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "gpicsync-GUI.py", line 561, in exitAppSave
  File "gpicsync-GUI.py", line 358, in writeConfFile
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '~/gpicsync.conf'

Hope this helps :-)

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback.

I've just updated the setup2.exe at the same URL hopefully it will work this 
time.

It saves settings OK now but still doesn't open the config file from "Options" 
menu.

Ah Ok, I've made another setup2.exe
