Let's say that I've installed XXE in /opt/xxe/ as user "root" and that as user "hussein", I'm not allowed to install add-ons in /opt/xxe/addon/. > Whenever I install a new XXE (Linux), up to latest 3.7.0, the following > happens: > > - select addons to be installed and click OK > - you get a mesage telling you have no sufficient rights. > - retry just to make sure the same happens again If you install add-ons containing some compiled code (e.g. the FOP plugin, WebDAV virtual drive plugin, etc), by default, XXE attempts to install it in /opt/xxe/addon/. This way, when you'll uninstall XXE, you'll also uninstall these add-ons. Therefore, using default settings, there is no way to install certain add-ons in /opt/xxe/addon/. You need to use Options|Preferences, "Install Add-on" section and select "Install add-ons in the user's preferences directory" instead of "Installation directory depends on the add-on" (default). See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.dialog.PreferencesEditorDialog.html#installAddonsOptions > - go to preferences and check the addons install path is correct (your > home dir), all is ok you don't change anything and just click OK When you use Options|Preferences to display the Preferences dialog box at the "Install Add-on" section, the dialog box automatically selects for you the only possible choice which is "Install add-ons in the user's preferences directory" instead of the current, default one which is "Installation directory depends on the add-on". Yes, this is somewhat unintuitive. Note that if you click "Cancel" instead of "OK", installing add-ons in /opt/xxe/addon/ still fails. That is, XXE has not automatically changed your preferences for you. You really need to confirm that all add-ons are to be installed in your user's preferences directory by clicking on "OK". > - Addons install works. > Yes, and if you don't erase your ~/.xxe/preferences.properties each time you reinstall XXE, this unintuitive behavior will no longer annoy you.
