Do I need admin rights to install codeblocks ?

(1/3) > >>

jokoon:
I'm planning to use codeblocks on a computer I don't have admin rights on. I'm planning to use the mingw version.

The unofficial portable version of codeblocks doesn't seem very up to date...

Do I need admin rights ?

Edit: No, you do NOT for Code::Blocks; not sure about the MinGW installer.
(You can just copy the MinGW files from another machine; but, CB MinGW installer might need Admin right.)

I suggest using the zipped installation of CB; I have not verified that it still exists on sf.net.

thanks for the quick answer :) !

Yes, I found the "no-setup" zip, but it doesn't seem to come with any compiler.

oBFusCATed:
As far as I know the installer automatically requests admin rights if needed.

If you don't have admin access to the computer you have to install in non-default folder.

The compiler we're shipping is TDM 4.8 (I think) and you can install it separately.

What do you mean ? How do I "install in non-default folder" ?

Do you mean I have to install mingw separately ? Or do I have to supply the codeblock+mingw installer some particular parameter ? Because once I click on that installer I'm asked to supply the admin password.
