Hello win32 users/testers,
Alan reported that the 0.43 installer does not install on his office computers: 1336396 Windows: problems installing as non-privileged user https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1336396&gr...
for me it looks like a real show stopper as it would affect many users.
The thing is that on computers where a user has limited rights he should: -uncheck the "shortcuts->for all users" option
see http://www.geocities.com/theadib/install_inkscape_neu2.png
please give some feedback.
BUT: if one users taps into that pitfall, others follow. So what should changed to be clear?
Many thanks,
Adib.

Hello win32 users/testers,
Alan reported that the 0.43 installer does not install on his office computers: 1336396 Windows: problems installing as non-privileged user https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1336396&gr...

The thing is that on computers where a user has limited rights he should: -uncheck the "shortcuts->for all users" option
I did. The installer failed really early on in the process, only managed to create a a few folders.
Anychance you could reorganise things so shortcuts are added last?
That way even if things fail I will have most of what I need installed already, at least that is the theory.
please give some feedback.
BUT: if one users taps into that pitfall, others follow. So what should changed to be clear?
Not sure.
I'm sure some smart ass will claim it is a good idea for us to go along with unenforcable local "security" policies (which we happily ignored before) but I cannot tell you how much I hate it when software distributors conspire against the user.
Worst case scenario I can use the other packages (zipped nightly builds, so in the grand scheme of things it isn't a big deal) but because it worked before I'm confident the installer can be made to work again.
