Installing Plugin problems by ladyTee on 05-14-2006 at 08:48 AM

Hey hey,

Im having problems with MsgPlus and installing plugins. I am a limited account on this computer and hence stuffplugNG and other plugins cannot find that MsgPlus is installed . Is there anyway to bypass the admin account and be able to use my plugins? Attached is the printscreen of the prob.

ps: if anyone knows, is there anyway i can install programs n other stuff without admin rights? i no theres a way but hvnt quite figured it out.

Cheers

Attached? :P
The installers will be failing since they're looking for Plus! in one place only. On limited accounts, Plus! sets itself up differently, in a way the plugin installers aren't aware of. Your best bet is to get Plus! and the plugins installed under an Admin account, or get the plugin developers to write a limited-user aware installer.

If your admin has disabled access to the registry and write access to the program files directory, you may be stuck.

If you know (or know someone who does) the admin pass, then you can usually right click the installer and go "Run As..." which should allow you to install the plugin normally.

If you have access to both folders, you could maybe use another tool to extract the files out the installer and add a line or two in the registry, although I'm not sure if all plugins need access to it.
