The average user is given non-administrator accounts because the administrator doesn’t want to grant them the ability to do nefarious things such as adding user account, disabling virus checking, accessing files of other users, etc. Installing OpenOffice is not nefarious and the vast majority of administrators would not prohibit single-user OpenOffice installation. However, they do not want users asking the administrators to spend time installing OpenOffice, much less pestering them every 3 months to install the OpenOffice bug fixes. > We have decided (similar to the blue gull example) that > administratrive rights are needed to install OOo 2.x.

Apart from font installation, the OpenOffice installation does nothing that Windows requires admin rights. And *based* on that, the installation program should have supported non-admin installation. None of the final OpenOffice 2.0 specs posted to specs.openoffice.org prohibit the installer from supporting non-admin installation. In fact, the 22/04/04 draft of the OpenOffice 2.0 Windows Installer GUI spec clearly supports Windows non-admin installation. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
