> Hi, > > I think we should not mix things here. The current setup is an administrative installation (exactly a system-wide install) with the possibility to install and run CouchDB as a Windows service (with administrator privileges). So far, all is working as expected. Currently, CouchDB is not intended to run under a "normal" user after installation. At the moment you have the possibility (workaround) change the installation folder permissions to have write access for the current user after the installation. > > To fix this as a whole, there need to be more changes to the process of distributing it for Windows: > > 1. Create an installer, which allows a system-wide or user-wide installation of CouchDB and / or > 2. Distribute CouchDB as a zipped package without installation at all > > I would welcome any PRs which provide more flexible and user-friendly installation methods in the [CouchDB Glazier](https://github.com/apache/couchdb-glazier) repository. 😉 Sure, I'll look into the [CouchDB Glazier](https://github.com/apache/couchdb-glazier) repository =) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
