FreeOrion won't run under a limited account on windows 2k/xp
Posted: Fri Dec 23, 2005 5:46 am
Hi all,
currently It is impossible to run FreeOrion without beeing an administrator under windows 2k and xp.
And there is no way to configure it so it will run under a limited account, as it won't accept any variables for the paths.
A program should not expect to have write access to its program directory, and should store any configuration files under Application Data.
So there should be an option to store any logfiles, saves etc there, ideally perhaps asking that while installing (like opera, "[ ] Use Seperate User Profiles" or somthing like that).
best regards,
Inuyasha
