Hi,<br>
<br>
I tried to install 1.4 on Windows XP, but the installer needs Admin<br>
rights, which on company PCs not many users have.<br>
But, after installing Scribus with Admin rights, zipping the program<br>
folder and moving it to a machine without Admin rights, Scribus simply<br>
works.<br>
<br>
So, I suggest, you provide a simple ZIP download.<br>
<br>

We like our installer.. however.. if your company requires you to have<br>
admin rights to install, then<br>
there is a reason. Circumventing that to install something could be<br>
against their policies for all<br>
sorts of reasons (basic security, viruses, licensing, etc).<br>

I have had the same issue at work. For a time I could install to a<br>
network space that is "mine", and could run Scribus from there, but then<br>
later I found that this didn't work, I *think* because the installer<br>
wanted to put the .scribus directory in some forbidden zone.<br>
<br>
I have been open with the IS people so they know what I have been doing.<br>
More recently, it seems they have liberalized my install privileges a<br>
bit so I can install in a normal sort of way. I can understand why they<br>
need to be careful, because most employees don't understand the risks of<br>
finding some cute screensaver to download or some other thing that has a<br>
hidden virus.<br>

For our accounting office, we have a Win7 PC which shows this strange behaviour with one of its programs: each time you start that program, the admin password has to be given. I got in touch with the makers, but they didn't have a clue what could cause it. If we were a larger firm with security issues, I would definitely worry here. Unfortunately, I know pretty few about Win world, so I can only guess that this program accesses some directory or service in some forbidden zone.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
