wiki: Installing musictracker on Windows Vista with local user #242

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
You can install musictracker on Windows Vista without admin rights, by opening 
the binary installer with e.g. 7zip an extract the two directories into you 
local pidgin install directory.

please add this to the "wiki" installation page (who is allowed to do changes?)

It would be better to improve the Windows installer so it installs into the 
local pidgin install directory if it can't get admin rights.

I agree: This should be documented on the installation page. Of course, it 
would be even better if the installer worked without admin rights. Why is this 
necessary anyway?

It's not 'necessary', but at the moment, the installer assumes it can install 
the plugin into C:\Program Files\Pidgin\plugins.

A patch to fix the musictracker.nsi script would be welcome :-)
