Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Installation without administrator privileges?

I was wondering whether it's possible to install this on a computer without administrator privileges.

The problem with this PC here is that the Program Files folder is read-only, which might be half the problem (unable to install to that location).

Would Ultramon work if I copied the folder from another PC's installation, to the new machine?

You'll need admin rights to install UltraMon, several components need to be installed in secure folders like Program Files, Windows and System32.

Copying an UltraMon installation folder to a different system won't work, UltraMon requires a proper installation in order to get the location of components, etc.

Would it be possible to get a list of such DLLs?
i.e. would the program still work if the DLLs were put into the Ultramon folder, and copied over?

This won't work, the location of components is stored in the registry during installation, and UltraMon would then no longer be able to use those components.

Darn it :(

Might need to see if I can sleep with / bribe / coerce the sysadmins at work to install it. :(

Are non Admin rights version or standalone version would be ideal. Please consider.

Currently there are no plans for this, also wouldn't work for all features.

Why would you prefer a solution which doesn't require a regular setup?
