Rate this Message:
In my restricted windows environment the .msi installer fails because I do not have sufficient privileges. Is there a simple .zip somewhere with everything necessary to run?

I dont' know if it helps but you can try with
PsyCollider Bundled. It will not require installation. See here: BUT: it's 3.0, so you are very very far from actual psyc 3.2 performances.

Thanks, Andrea.
I found out that you can unpack .msi files without really installing them by doing this: msiexec /a PsyColliderInstaller.msi Once everything is unpacked, the Psycollider.exe works, no problem. -- karl On Tue, May 6, 2008 at 2:56 AM, Andrea Valle <valle@...> wrote:

Yeah that is useful, we should probably add it to the readme.

hi
does anyone if this should work on machines where psycollider has not been installed yet? i mean the dlls requiered would not be available in the C:\windows folder but locally. I am trying on a fresh machine and scsynth does not work, I am not sure if this is the reason or something else missing. enrike altern(e)k dio: > nice to know! specially if you have to tech a workshop at a uni where it > is difficult to get the IT to install software. > > enrike > > > Karl Yerkes(e)k dio: >> Thanks, Andrea. >> >> I found out that you can unpack .msi files without really installing >> them by doing this: >> >> msiexec /a PsyColliderInstaller.msi >> >> Once everything is unpacked, the Psycollider.exe works, no problem. >> >> -- karl >> >> On Tue, May 6, 2008 at 2:56 AM, Andrea Valle <valle@... >> <mailto:valle@...>> wrote: >> >> I dont' know if it helps but you can try with PsyCollider >> Bundled.

Chris switched from a zip archive to an installer because of dll hell. What is the objection to installing once as an admin user, then running the software under a limited-rights account?

my objection is that i often work in situations where installing something (even once) as administrator is not an option. also, there is no reason why the install should require administrator privileges, so it an unnecessary annoyance. i would feel differently if there were a demonstrable security concern that would be solved by requiring administrator privileges. avoiding dll hell is great. i am for it. however, i am pretty sure that there is a way to build a .msi that does not require administrator to install.

Hello (not from dll-hell today...)
the problem here are the dependencies of MSVC applications and how they are met on a variety of Windows platforms (if you think every Linux is different, take a look at Windows...) The solution by the MS Installer is to install side-by-side dlls, which - to my knowledge - requires some administrator rights. I am sure there is a way to build an installer that would not do this (e.g. using the excellent http://wix.sourceforge.net/), but this is far from trivial. I would be much more in favour of investing the time into getting the windows port compiled with scons/mingw (the sc- plugins are switched already and working fine...) and cutting out all MS dlls.

Having a non admin installer or a fully standalone application would help. On OSX there are tons of apps that dont requiere admin privileges, just drop the app to any folder and they work. I think thats really nice. enrike _______________________________________________ sc-users mailing list sc-users@... http://lists.create.ucsb.edu/mailman/listinfo/sc-users |
