Monitorian without admin priviledges ? #590

Closed jlhervy closed 1 month ago

jlhervy commented 2 months ago

Hello,

I would like to install monitorian in for my user on the windows PC that I use at work. However I do not have administrator permissions, and monitorian asks for them.

Are they mandatory ? Would there be a way to install/modify monitorian such that it doesn't require those rights ?

Thanks,

This app doesn't require administrator permissions. If you are asked, it could be other reason such as the policy.

The installer does as its installation defaults to C:\Program Files (x86)\, but you can unpack the installer with any archiver, e.g. 7-Zip can handle Windows Installer packages. You need to extract these files and put them somewhere, then launch the executable like you would do normally.

Thanks !

Indeed it did work, but not with 7z. I used the msiexec windows command to extract the .msi in my user space, and I can now launch monitorian.

Thanks for your help.
