Installing as a non-ad

I've tried nearly everything, I know it was said it can't be done.
But when you read the description on the latest drivers one line strikes me.
"Enables you to use your device as a first-time, non-administrator in Microsoft Windows XP or Windows 2000"
So can it be done ? I've tried installing these drivers before on a non-admin account but still asks for admin pri'veledges, what exactly does that line mean then ?
Ste.

I believe there's a way of installing programs as an Administrator when you run them, but I'm not exactly sure offhand. Seems strange that it would say this in the details.

HOWTO: Create a Boot Configuration That Has No Driver Signature Checks. Disable Driver Integrity Checks and Install a Custom Non-Signed Driver

Hello,
Recently, I had a task where I needed to install a custom non-signed driver onto my Windows 8 64-bit setup. As it is known, Windows has driver enforcement policies that, as a security measure, do not allow you to install non-signed drivers.
I did not want to alter my current boot configuration so I decided to create a separate boot entry that would have driver signing policies disabled. For some reason I did not find any good source that would contain a step-by-step instruction on completing
this task, so I decided that I'd better share my experience here.
Lastly, there are multiple ways how you could turn off driver enforcement policies, but I find the way to do this via boot manager.
Here's how you can do that.
1. Press WindowsKey and type 'cmd' (without quotes) to find Command prompt, then click Command prompt icon. If you have User Account Control turned on, hold Ctrl+Shift keys pressed when clicking the icon.
This will force Windows to ask you for elevation of command prompt. Elevation is necessary for editing Boot Configuration Database (BCD), the database used by Windows boot manager to store boot settings.
2. In the User Account Control window click Yes to confirm elevation of command shell.
3. At the command prompt type
bcdedit
to list your BCD entries.
This will give you an output like:

The section that starts with Windows Boot Manager lists current settings for the boot menu. Here you find what boot entry is chosen by default, this is the one what you will boot into if you do not select any boot entry in the
boot menu.
The following record
default {current}
indicates that by default my Windows boots into configuration which I use at the moment (currently booted Windows configuration).
To find out what exactly is current configuration, look into the list of boot entries, records that contain boot loader configuration and are titled as Windows Boot Loader in the bcdedit output.
For example, the entry shown above is one of my boot configurations. This is one of the boot entries listed on the boot manager screen when I start my PC and it looks like:
Windows Boot Loader
identifier {a329b5d0-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}

resumeobject {a329b5cf-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}
nx OptIn
bootmenupolicy Standard
This record has a unique GUID identifier that can be used to reference this boot entry, which is:
identifier {a329b5d0-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}
If we look at the Windows Boot Manager settings, we'll see this entry is the first in order to be displayed in the boot menu on OS start (I marked the unique bits):
displayorder {a329b5d0-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}
{a329b5cc-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}
It references my VHD drive, a virtual hard drive where my Windwos 8 setup is residing:
device vhd=[D:]\win8prowmc01.vhdx
And it also specifies that the boot manager must use UEFI BIOS extension code to access my Windows boot partition:
path \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi
3. Now locate the current boot entry.
Current boot entry contains boot settings used to boot into Windows configuration to which you are currently booted. It is referenced in the list of boot entries as a Windows Boot Loader record that has the {current} keyword inside and may
look like:
Windows Boot Loader
identifier {current}

Because we are more than happy with current configuration and want to base our new boot configuration on these settings, we need to copy this boot entry ({current}) to a new boot entry.
This is done by running the following command:
C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit /copy {current} /d "No Driver Signature Check"
Parameter /d here indicates that the following sequence of characters specifies the display name for the new boot entry that we are creating. The name inside the double quotes will be displayed in the boot menu when you boot your Windows.
In other words, if you know restart your system, you'll see the new No Driver Signature Check in the boot menu.
When copied, the entry is automatically given a new GUID identifier, so upon running the command above, you'll see the following line returned (you'll have an other GUID since these are unique identifiers):
The entry was successfully copied to {a329b5d8-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}.
4. Make sure the entry has been successfully created.
Run the same bcdedit. (You may specify /enum or /v, or both /enum /v parameters at the prompt to get more detail about boot entries, but simple bcdedit is just enough to see the new entry):
C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit

The entry has been created and given a unique a329b5d8-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240 ID. It now has exactly same boot settings as the boot entry we used to boot into current configuration of Windows.
5. Modify created No Driver Signature Check entry and specify that Windows must have driver integrity checks disabled when booted using this boot entry.
Any modifications to boot entries are made using /set parameter. To indicate that we modify a specific boot entry, we must specify the GUID for the No Driver Signature Check record, which is:
identifier {a329b5d8-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}
In other words, to edit (add or change) an option for the boot entry, we need to use the following command syntax:
C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit /set GUID <boot_option> [<option_value>]
First, we must specify that we don't want integrity checks be made. This is done by adding the loadoptions option and setting it to DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS value:
C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit /set {a329b5d8-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240} loadopti
ons DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
The operation completed successfully.
6. Verify that load option has been added.
Run the bcdedit command:

7. Add the option that turns on test signing mode and disables checks of driver signature.
Adding the testsigning option and setting it to ON does the trick for us:
C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit /set {a329b5d8-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240} TESTSIGNING ON
8. Now we have a boot entry that enables Windows not to do integrity checks and digital signature validation.
We check it by running bcdedit:

9. Type 'exit' without quotes to exit from command prompt, and restart Windows.
Upon booting you will be present with a new boot option to start Windows in configuration that allows you to install custom non-signed drivers.
Hope this will help anybody to create their own custom boot configurations.
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

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+

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.
More permission tips:

Have you even read those? I suggest that you do; because most of what you have written about how file/folder/application permissions in OS X is completely wrong.

How to install AIR in Non-Admin rights PC ?

Who can teach me how to solve under issue ?
1.How to transfer AIR file to exe file
2.How to install AIR in Non-Admin rights computer?
-->In my company all PC has contorled, i want to install application in any Notebook for Sales Using,they can using AIR offline in anywhere
Thank you so much!!

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:

How to install whatsapp in non 3G version K1 tablet?

whatsapp refuses to accept k1 non 3g version tablet pc
same problem occurs in ipad/ ipod and the problem can be solved by some apps
for K1 3g version, I don't know whether it can install whatsapp or not
if it can install whatsapp, can non-3G version k1 shares the "similar firmware" that can allow us to install whatsapp ?

As I understand - whatsapps is currently only for mobile phones. If you notice, it does not appear in marketplace as it detects it is access via tablets. Let me pop a question to whatsapps developer and see if they hv future support for tables.
I would believe this is an overly asked question ??

I have tried the normal route of setting core to unlimited and that user to unlimited also in limits.conf.
I can do a kill -11 $pid with an instance running as root to get a core but no luck with an instance as a non-root user.

I forgot to mention that I'm running 6.1.

Can Creative Cloud apps be installed on a non-boot drive?

Can Creative Cloud apps be installed on a non-boot drive? If so, how? I want to install on a different drive on my current system because my boot drive (an SSD) is rather full.

Since I have an SSD drive with rather limited capacty, I did this, and it sort of worked. The Creative Cloud did not give me an option of where to install it. As soon as it installed, I did as instructed above and changed the default. However, Photoshop started installing immediately after I installed the Creative Cloud and did not ask if I wanted to install it. However, it installed correctly in the drive I stipulated in preferences. Photoshop did not install a shortcut onto my desktop, but I had to create one manually.
I noticed that certain items still installed on my SSD. There is an Adobe folder under Programs on the C drive, and there is also an Adobe folder in my SSD under Users.
The only other place I discovered to direct files is in the Photoshop preferences for where to store my scratch files.

Can CS6 be installed on a non-boot drive partition?

I'm going to run CS6 and Avid MC6 on the same machine (iMac), and thought it would be a good idea to put them on separate partitions to avoid any conflicts. Avid apparently MUST be on the system (boot) partition... can CS6 be installed on a non-boot internal drive partition?

It can, but shared components will still end up in your Application Support and Library folder, so this is a moot point. you are trying to avoid something that you can't influence.

How do I install a networked non-post script Ricoh printer?

Hi,
I am relatively new to Macs, and I am having trouble installing a networked Ricoh Aficio MP C3501 (non-PostScript) printer. It seems the native driver is for PostScript version of this printer only. I am running a new MacBook Air.
When I try to add printer via IP address & connect, I get this message:
"Unable to verify the printer on your network.
Unable to connect to ‘10.253.97.48’ due to an error. Would you still like to create the printer?"
I have tried the steps here, with no success:
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/pxlmon o#pxlmono_1.6_for_Mac_OS_X_10.3.x_.28Panther.29_-_Mac_OS_X_10.8.x_.28Mountain_Li on.29
I am assuming because of some of the changes made in Yosemite.'
I found this fix, but it would appear to only work if you had the printer installed on Mac PRIOR to Yosemite, and this would repair the "broken connection":
Ricoh MP C2500 not printing after upgrading to Yosemite
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Chuck

Download the mac driver for your printer, from your printer manufacturer.
Open the downloaded file in finder click on it and open it. If using wireless then set up the wirless network on your printer

Am I hitting a bug?

If your pkg wants to be installed in /usr or another inherit-pkg-dir, it can't because they are share as read-only.
Verify wherer the pkg copies its files.

Always install applications into non-global zones?

I am planning on taking full advantage of Containers and Zones as I migrate servers and applications to Solaris 10. During this migration process, I believe that I will have a need to initially just run just one application on a server. I fear that if I do this in the global zone I will lose flexibility down the road for future projects and workloads. So, should I consider always installing applications in a non-global zone and never install applications in the global zone? This would keep the global zone as the controller of the non-global zones and ensure that I can always add more non-global zones later without having to worry about what is running in the global zone.
Are there any thoughts or comments on this topic?

Yes we've found it's best to run the applications in non-global zones. Here are a few benefits, basically we only put an application in the global zone if it requires it (like Oracle RAC). Note non-RAC instances of Oracle will run in a non-global zone just fine.
Reasons to put applications in non-global zones
o Increased security (self contained environment)
o Increased flexibility for provisioning resources (CPU, memory, etc) when/if we decide to run multiple applications on the same hardware
o Increased flexibility in starting up temporary environments to debug issues in parallel to the primary environment (i.e. in another non-global zone on the same server)
o Works well with Sun Cluster (i.e. we cluster the non-global zones so that they can run across several hosts)
o Improved trouble shooting and performance diagnosis as the applications are isolated to a non-global zone
o Simplified environment for the application admins as the environment can be fine tuned for their needs (i.e. only let them see what they need)
o Disaster recovery is much faster for a non-global zone

Installing cooltools when Sun studio is installed in a non default dir

Hello all,
I have installed sun studio 12 on one node of a SPARC cluster. When installing, I did not use the default directory (/opt/SUNWspro), but I used a different one as this installation is for trial purposes only.
Now, I want to install discover, ats and all other tools that are included in the tar file. I followed the instruction on suns web page : http://cooltools.sunsource.net/cmtdt/install.html, but all the information there is based on the fact that sun studio is installed in the default directory.
Does anyone know, what should I do in order to install the tools in the proper directory? Should I specify a path in the "pkgadd" command? Please help as I am stuck at the moment.
Thanks a lot.
Yiannis

I think I found the answer myself. It is written in sun's web page:
If the Sun Studio 12 tools are installed with a different base directory, say /opt/Studio12/SUNWspro/bin, then use the option -a none in the pkgadd command. When you are prompted for the <base_dir>, enter /opt/Studio12. The tools in the SPROprfns and SPROcool packages will be installed in /opt/Studio12/SUNWspro/extra/bin.
I think this solves the problem, but in any case, please feel free to comment on this one.

Help needed to install Flash Player : 'Non-Current Release' problem!

I been encountering problems while trying to install Flash Player on my laptop running Windows 7.
Originally Flash Player does not work as I understand it is not supported on 64-bit Internet Explorer.
After installing 32-bit IE, the following issue of 'non-latest version' arises and all installation were aborted by the application :
The below were steps I had taken to no success.
1. Via the 32-bit browser, downloaded flash player un-install program and did the uninstallation with success.
2. Rebooted the laptop.
3. Via the 32-bit browser, downloaded the flash player version 10.0.45.2 from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer.
4. After downloading it automatically did the installation with 100% completion.
5. The program proceeded to activate the flash player with a webpage saying if the flash player is working properly, I should see a video and Flash Player's logo.
6. Before anything was displayed, an error message popped up to say I was trying to install a non-current version and that I should go to same webpage to download the latest version. The activation was then aborted.
Tried many times but always encountered same problem and hence cannot proceed to use the flash player.
Need assistance to diagnose the problem and to get Flash Player working on my laptop. Appreciate any help to get it working.
Regards.

Thanks to efforts of eidnolb and Bob, the installation of flash player into my laptop is now working .
Bob's installer enabled the download successfully.
Eidnolb's link in post 6 trigggered me that I may have previously installed the pre-release version 10.1, thereby leading to the 'non-current-version' problem too. Post in that link adviced to uninstall 10.1 using the pre-release uninstaller.
I suggest others who had encountered this non-current release to uninstall first using that specific uninstaller, before attempting to install the most current release. I may have installed the 10.1 pre-release in desperation after failing numerous times trying to figure out why flash player does not install in browser not knowing its currently-non-support of 64-bit browser.
Once again thanks for support, eidnolb and Bob.
Cheers.

Installing Pakcage in Non Global Zone

Hi,
I have SUNWbtool package that is installed in Global Zone but not installed in one my (Non-global) Zones called test
Below are parameters of package on Global Zone.
SUNW_PKG_ALLZONES='true'
SUNW_PKG_HOLLOW='false'
But somehow I can't see this package in one of my test Zone. How to get this package reflected into my test Zone as it is already installed in Global Zone?
This package is required to install Oracle10G grid on on my Test Zone.

it's possible that it's not happening due to questions being asked in the install process. Which version of Sol 10 are you using? ( cat /etc/release)
