12c install on Windows without admin account?

Is it possible to grant a non-administrator group member account explicit permissions to be able to install the software without adding the user to the local (or domain) administrators group?
I'm stumbling into the issue described in other installation discussions where I get an error:
SEVERE: [FATAL] [INS-30131] The initial setup that is required to run the installation program validation was not successful.
CAUSE: Access to the temp directory was not successful.
ACTION: Ensure that the current user has the necessary permissions to access the temp directory.
So I can ask my helpdesk to allow me to create/enable the admin share, but I'm concerned that this will get me only as far as the next error message.
In general, our company policy is to enforce separation of duties and deny explicit admin permissions, so I would like to identify the explicit requirements for installation to work
(that said, I need to get the software installed, so if it's not documented anywhere, I'll probably just ask for admin privs).

Have you tried skipping the 'Install public JRE' step, it's should only
be this step that requires admin privileges.
We will verify the behaviour and fix it if it's not the case.
If skipping the jre step doesn't help, you can do the following:
*Unzip 'win_ia32_jrockit150_03_sdk_no_jre.zip' and
'win_ia32_jrockit150_03_jre.zip' from the installer exe
('jrockit-25.2.0-jdk1.5.0_03-win-ia32.exe'), put them for instance in
c:\tmp.
*Unzip 'win_ia32_jrockit150_03_sdk_no_jre.zip' into c:\jrockit (or some
other directory of your choice).
*Unzip 'win_ia32_jrockit150_03_jre.zip' into c:\jrockit\jre

  • Is there any way to install a plugin without admin rights on windows 7

    Hi all,
    I've developed a plugin for adobe indesign cs5. I was able to install my plugin(by creating .msi file) into indesign plugins folder, when extension manager is opened as administrator.
    I just want to know, if I can install the plugin without admin rights.
    FYI: My plugin will add a link to File menu on menubar of the indesign application, clicking which will execute the scripts.
    Please let me know if you want any other information.
    Thanks for any ideas/support.
    Regards,
    Srikanth

    InDesign will load plugins from the path specified in the PlugInConfig.txt file in the user's InDesign preferences directory, which does not require administrative privileges. See "Using PlugInConfig.txt" on pp.12- of the "Getting Started with the Adobe InDesign CS5 Products SDK" (getting-started.pdf) in the SDK. Specifically:
    Using PlugInConfig.txt
    1. If InDesign is running, exit it.
    2. Create a text file named “PlugInConfig.txt” in the InDesign preference directory, and enter
    the following text into it:
    =Path
    NOTE: The inDesign preference folder is located in the following directory (where <locale> is a
    locale-specific subdirectory; for example, en_US for English):
    Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\
    Adobe\InDesign\Version #.#\<locale>
    Windows Vista: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\
    Adobe\InDesign\Version #.#\<locale>
    Mac OS: <user-home>/Library/Preferences/
    Adobe InDesign/Version #.#/<locale>
    3. Open the PlugInConfig.txt file in a text editor and edit the sections as desired. For example,
    the following tells InDesign to load every plug-in in the sdk folder:
    =Path
    "C:\Adobe InDesign CS5 Products SDK\build\win\debug\sdk
    NOTE: The preceding example is only for Windows. On Mac OS, use ‘:’ as the path separator.
    NOTE: You also can use a “=Exclude” tag to exclude a certain plug-in from being loaded. This
    is useful if you do not want to load everything in the “=Path” folder.
    NOTE: This is target specific. You cannot launch the release version of InDeisgn with debug
    plug-ins. It is convenient to add both debug and release paths, commenting out the  target that is not in use. For single-line comments, use “;” (semicolon).
    4. Save the PlugInConfig.txt file.
    5. Restart InDesign.
    6. Verify the set of plug-ins loaded by selecting the About Plug-ins menu.

  • Installing apps from non-admin account

    I read an earlier post that installing apps from a non-admin account is a bad idea because SL applies the wrong permissions. I normally install from a non-admin account.... I don't see that the permissions on stuff I've installed are any different from apps that came with SL. Most everything is drwxr-xr-x. Was this fixed, or am I missing the problem.

    KJK555 wrote:
    +"That isn't a problem at all. Applications should not require that the user have write+
    +access to the application."+
    I didn't say anything about a user having write access permission, I was talking about read
    permissions. All apps installed in the /Applications directory should have group permissions
    set to admin or wheel (depending on the type of app), so the system can read them without
    problems. That's the Unix way.
    I completely disagee. The system already has read permission to all applications in the /Applications folder. It doesn't matter what the group privilege is set to. The "other" permissions are set to read only. System (root) can read it regardless. If you can show me an Apple tech article that says that apps installed in the /Applications folder should have their group privilege changed to "admin" or "wheel" then I would gladly take that back.
    +"Leopard does not put any ACLs on anything installed in the /Applications folder"+
    That's right, it doesn't normally, but if it finds an app that it does not have permission
    to read, it will assign an ACE(s) to it so that it can access it.
    I just tested that in 10.5.8, and it does not happen as you say. I can't try it in 10.6. I'd appreciate if you could provide a specific example where you can make this happen.
    Besides, all users, by default, have read only access to all applications. Unless a user specifically changes permissions on an app to deny read access to everyone, then this isn't an issue.

    I know what ACLs are and how they work. I have read through those and cannot find in any of those threads anything about what you had been talking about.
    +"That is also false. Root rights are granted by the user entering the admin username+
    +and password when prompted. It does not matter where an application is installed in+
    +order for it to be given root permission."+
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963
    "Application installers, Applications folder
    A third-party application installer incorrectly sets permissions on the files it installs,
    or even the entire Applications folder. Symptoms of the Application folder's permissions
    being set incorrectly include applications appearing in the dock as question marks, and/or
    not being able to connect to the Internet. It is also possible that software installed while
    logged in as one user will be inaccessible when logged in as another. To avoid this, make sure
    you are logged in with your normal user account when installing software that you wish to use
    with that account."
    That has to do with third party installer apps that developers have not written properly to conform to OS X standards. It isn't an issue with applications that install by drag-and-drop. It sounds to me like you have looked at the permissions that Apple has put on its own apps and jumped to the conclusion that third party apps won't work unless they have the exact same permissions applied to them. That simply isn't true.
    "Software access=user access
    Most applications executed by a user only have access to the files that the user has access to.
    Backup software, for example, may not back up Mac OS X system files that have root ownership."
    Utilities, especially disk utilities, are to be installed in the /Applications/Utilities folder, for reasons
    stated above.
    No. That is completely wrong. Like I said earlier, an application is given root permission by user authentication. It matters not one little bit what the application's enclosing folder is. I personally have no third party apps in /Applications/Utilities; just what Apple puts there as part of a standard OS X installation.

  • How to Install AIR appliaction Without Admin Rights

    Hi All,
    Is it possible to install AIR application without admin rights, because many of our user don't have Admin login. I should make the
    AIR application to install in all user login. is it possible?
    can anyone know how to do this? please post your suggestions and solutions.
    Thanks in advance,
    Vasanth

    On Mac OS, to install or update an AIR application, the user needs to have adequate system privileges to install to the application directory (and administrative privileges if the application needs to update the runtime). On Windows, a user needs to have administrative privileges.
    IT administrators can install AIR applications silently using standard desktop deployment tools. For more information, see "Enterprise deployment" in the following page:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/air_admin/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11c0f5986ec-8000.ht ml#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11c0f59823a-7fee

  • *** How to install an app without admin password?

    I'm trying to install Final Cut Studio 2 and the system keeps asking for my admin password. I don't know it b/c I'm borrowing this computer from my dad. Is there a way to install an app without having to type in the admin password or is that step always required?
    Thanks in advance!

    If your login window is showing the list of users, you can find the "short name" for each such user by hovering the cursor over that user.
    If that doesn't give you what you need, boot again directly from the install DVD and use it to enable and set a password for the System Administrator (root) account -- follow the prompts. Be sure the password you set is not blank. This is the super user that's built into the system independent of your dad's normal "administrator" account. Now reboot again from your hard drive. In the login window, select the "other" option that will now appear. Then login as "root" and with the password you just assigned.
    At this point you can use System Preferences / Accounts to adjust the passwords and administrator access privileges of your normal accounts on the machine.
    Once you have done that, log out as "root" and log back in as a normal administrator account. Now go to Applications / Utilities / Directory Utility and disable the "root" user account once again for safety.

  • Installing Elements 6 (non Admin account)

    I have been reading the posts in the forum regarding Elements as this is software which I am considering for purchase with Barbara Brundage's book. I have recently switched to a mac which I love and don't want to introduce problems which I might be able to avoid by asking first. Permissions etc are new to me as my experience with Windows was just to run as Admin something I don't want to do in Leopard.
    I posted in one thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8912633#8912633
    My initial concerns came from user reviews about the actual install which has now had more light shed on it as I run as a Standard user on my Mac. I have an Admin account created n day one but only use this to do my updates and install iWorks plus the new iLife when it arrives. Day to day I am a standard user but after reading the post I have linked I am now unsure if I could use Elements as a standard user even if I did the install from my Admin account.
    I prefer to be a standard use on the Mac therefore would appreciate advice if it is possible to use Elements as myself or do I have to create another account (Admin user) which doesn't have all my photos etc in order to run Elements smoothly?
    I am also considering Aperture but think I still need Elements for extra tools. Hopefully someone will know if this is possible as a standard user. My initial thoughts were to install from Admin account and then log out and start to use Elements as my own account but this is where the big question comes in after reading the way Adobe installs and works with permissions.
    I will be prepared to wait rather than find I have introduced problems by the wrong type of install and use. Thanks for any advice, I have checked Adobe's forum and various read reviews but still haven't overcome my worries about this.

    ld simply keep their photos in their Home Folder and use Photoshop Elements to process them.
    Thank you Roger your help is appreciated as it helps with my other installs too.
    I am still uncertain if Elements will work for me as a standard user as the other topic made me aware of problems which I presume would make my use as a standard user after the install troublesome?
    Quote from http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1806242&start=30&tstart=0
    +Elements needs to be installed by admin account, and to be run from the same account or you can run into a problem with certain things not working correctly. Some of the permissions on some of the files are just plain wrong. On my own install I went in and changed them to what they really ought to be so that everything works in all *admin accounts*.+
    Thank you for your patience with my feeble understanding of the way Elements would work for me if I am not a day to day Admin. Hopefully I am thinking along the wrong path and I would be able to continue with my account setup using Elements after the Admin install.

  • Installing iTunes updates without admin rights

    I'm the sys admin for a small IT department. None of the users have admin rights, which means every time an iTunes update comes around, they can't install it.
    How can I make this easier for us all, without having to go around to all their machines to install for them, and without giving them admin rights?

    +"None of the users have admin rights, which means every time an iTunes update comes around, they can't install it."+
    Users without admin rights cannot install their own programs, iTunes or otherwise.
    Note that you do not need to install every single iTunes update that comes along. Just upgrade once in while. (I am on 7.6, and doing fine.) The newer versions don't support anything new that your folks are supposed to be doing at work anyway. (-:

  • Install os x without iTunes account

    Hi all,
    I'm hoping one of you might be able to help me and I haven't just ruined the iMac I've only just got.
    I've just bought a second hand 2010 27in iMac, and the guy I bought it off left all of his music and accounts etc on it. I've just wiped the hard drive thinking I could just reinstall os x from the disk that he gave me. But now that I've wiped it I can't seem to get the disk to do anything (it is a bit scratched, but not too badly). The mac wants to install os x from the app store but (i think) because I haven't authorised the computer on my account it won't let me log on and just says 'not available at the moment' and because the computer doesn't have an operating system, I can't now authorise it to my account.
    Is there anything I can do?
    Cheers for any help,
    Mark

    FYI - you have OS 9.2.2 installed on this Mac which
    will provide for using what is called the "Classic"
    environment under OS X.
    If you don't install Tiger via an Erase & Install,
    you won't or shouldn't lose anything.
    Thanks for the info.
    I've managed to get Tiger OS X running alongside my original Classic.

  • Install new xcode without admin rights

    Hi there,
    I saw alot of threads about XCode as non-admin but non if it helped...
    We have a setup with the programmers are non-admins...
    We want to make the programmers choose and select a specific XCode version from the server.
    We created a simple shell-Script wich lets the user select all versions on the company server wich we provide and copies it to ~/Applications
    This works fine and the users are very happy with that.
    Problems:
    As soon as he starts the XCode.app he gets asked for Administration Privileges to install "Components"
    (what are these anyway? Or cant we provide them somehow?)
    If this is done by a Administrator the XCode works fine and there is no issue
    BUT: If the programmer wants to install Command Line Tools he will be asked again for Admin-rights.
    Not for the Doc Sets (We just placed them in the User Library instead of /Library)
    We've tried:
    DevToolsSecurity -enable
    dscl . append /Groups/_developer GroupMembership
    Didnt helped :-(
    Are there any other suggestions than edit the /etc/authorization file?
    thanks in advance for any suggestions.....

    True, but they do need many of the same tools that programmers will need.
    That is an entirely different topic than what the original poster is talking about. I suggest you start your own thread and describe your problem and how you would like things to work in an ideal world.
    Students should not have admin rights on machines. There are proper ways to get Xcode to work nicely in an education environment. Unfortunately, that often requires a competent IT staff willing and able to support Macs. I am thinking that your situation is pretty typical and you don't have that. Otherwise, it would already be done and you wouldn't be asking here .
    Ideally, have IT handle it. If they can't handle it, as they probably can't, start a new question here in the developer forum and people will help you cobble together some scripts to make it work.

  • Installing new windows without losing my podcasts settings???

    Hi,
    since i've got problems with my windows, i am really keen on formatting and reinstalling xp. i've already made a backup of all my podcast-files (my itunes library is on drive d:, so formating drive c: won't affect my files anyway),
    however, i don't want to lose my podcast settings and descriptions within itunes. is there any solution for this problem
    thanks in advance for your help

    Podcast descriptions are part of the episode files. Episodes use the artist, album, and track track tags for this.
    When opening iTunes on new installation hold down the shift key during startup of iTunes. It will open dialog to select library. Navigate to file and select it.
    Some of this may help

  • Software always installs to Domain Admin account on connected PC-cant install to Domain User account

    I have completed the following steps:
    Set up Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials successfully
    Successfully connected a Windows 8.1 Pro PC to the network by running the Essentials Connector software
    The PC has the following users: Original local account created when I installed Windows 8, Domain Admin account created when I ran the Essentials Connector account, Domain User created after PC was connected to the network.
    Everything seems to be working fine. I have installed MS Office 365 Pro, Skype, various other applications while logged in as the Domain User. Every one of these installs triggered a UAC prompt, which was expected, and after entering the Domain Admin
    credentials the install proceeded successfully. After install, the software was available to the Domain User, shortcuts appeared in the Start Menu or Desktop, appropriate directories were created in the Documents folder.
    All except for 3 applications - upon being prompted for permission to install, I enter the Domain Admin credentials, installation proceeds, but the software is installed to the Domain Admin account-not the Domain User account. Shortcuts appear on the Domain
    Admin desktop-Not the Domain User account, etc. I've tried:
    Downloading a new copy of the software to the Domain User desktop & running it from there
    Right-click file, Install as Admin
    click file, Install as a different user
    Right clicking file, Properties>Compatibility & changing compatibility settings
    Right clicking file, Properties>Compatibility>Run as Administrator
    None of these options have changed the result, the software is still installed to the Domian Admin account as opposed to the Domain User account. Any idea why these 3 software wont install correctly but everything else has? Any suggestions as to how to install
    the software to the profile that doesn't involve making the Domain User an Administrator? Thanks for any help!

    Hi voltron5,
    Many programs may provide options: "install for everyone" or "just for current user", when you install them.
    Please check if there are such options during the installation process.
    If those three programs are all third-party applications. I suggest you should contact with the corresponding
    support and confirm this.
    If those three programs are Microsoft applications, would you please let me know specific information of those
    three applications? Such as their names and so on. Meanwhile, when complete the installation, please check the software path was added in administrator environment variables or system environment variables.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,
    Justin Gu

  • Update iTunes from non-Admin account?

    I had to install iTunes from an admin account, but I use it from an non-admin account. When I get the message that there is a new version available, can I upgrade from the non-admin account? I don't want to try it without knowing because I don't want to corrupt anything. I'm on Windows XP.

    No, you log out of you limited user account and update from an administrator account.
    Personally I don't trust updating from within iTunes and I always download the installer and save it on my PC before running it.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    As I am rather paranoid, I make copies of iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Library.xml before updating, do this with iTunes closed. But iTunes should make a backup of its own when updating. Unfortunately if you have to update from an account that is not your usual one, it will backup the library of the account you update from, not the one you want.
    Added : Actually I may be wrong in my last point. If the backup is made when you first open iTunes and it converts the library, you may be OK. But I would make a copy anyway.
