Do I need admin rights to install codeblocks ?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Miguel Gimenez:
Windows has a "smart" ??? system for deciding when to ask for admin rights. If the executable name contains words like INSTALL, SETUP or similar, it will ask for admin rights, even if not needed.

Try removing those dangerous words from the installer's name.

This did not help, I renamed the 'codeblocks-13.12mingw-setup-TDM-GCC-481.exe' installer to 'tre.exe', it still asks for a password.

There is a special installer for non admin installs.look at the download page for details...

I don't see anything about an installer for non admins.

Anyway, I downloaded TDM-GCC separately from http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/ and codeblock no-setup, and it worked.

For the record I cannot find such installer, too.
