Install as non-administrator?

jcrben opened this issue · comments

I noticed that when I downloaded https://github.com/indygreg/PyOxidizer/releases/download/pyoxidizer%2F0.24.0/PyOxidizer-0.24.0.exe and tried to run it prompted me for admin privileges.

Is there a way to downgrade to non-admin? I can get admin if I really need it but I'd rather not.

The Windows Python installer can downshift to non-admin.

Additional keywords: administrator, administrative, super

I found this on PyPI https://pypi.org/project/pyoxidizer/ and installed it there. Seems promising but haven't really done much yet.

Might be worth mentioning that for people looking to install on a work computer, pip installing is the best option https://gregoryszorc.com/docs/pyoxidizer/main/pyoxidizer_getting_started.html#pre-built-installers-and-executables

I'll close this since I was able to install
