Qiqqa open source for Windows for non-admin users #124
Comments
🤔 I hadn't looked at the ClickOnce Installer before, trying it now. |
😞 That ClickOnce installer did download a whole lot, but did not deliver a working Qiqqa on this machine (there's a Qiqqa icon and it aborts right off the bat, no crash but no running Qiqqa either, while it reports itself as v79.0.0.0). The UNinstaller did require Admin rights (UAC), so, having zero experience with ClickOnce, I wonder if this can be done in a different way. |
It does not have to be with ClickOnce, I was just suggesting an option 😄 On my machine, I have an up and running version of Qiqqa installed with that ClickOnce installer. I don't know what program you use to deploy the setup.exe file, but if you use Visual Studio here there are some tips: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4080131/how-to-make-a-setup-work-for-limited-non-admin-users I hope the link may be useful. |
Qiqqa setup uses InnoSetup for creating installers ( Thanks for the link. I'll see what I can do. 👍 |
…directory": useful for independent library sets and testing rigs. Also a beginning for a 'portable / non-admin' Qiqqa install (jimmejardine#124)
Note for devs/myself: here's how Microsoft VSCode does it: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/portable Since latest Qiqqa code already has some 'developer overrides' on board to facilitate switching multiple modes/behaviours in Qiqqa while testing, that MS doc reads as a solid way forward on this one -- suggest to mimic that behaviour. keyword: Portable Application, Portable Mode (which implicitly would solve this issue) |
… the user installs it only for himself. TODO: Needs further work and testing. jimmejardine#328 jimmejardine#124
How about just a compiled .zip package without installer ? |

In that mode, the registry is only used for a few things, such as registering the The technique used is to make a Portable Application a kind of "developer override" mode: the same files are involved and the way configuration bits and pieces are specified/overridden is the same. Re "developer override mode" (see also Github): Now we support the When we have determined the Base Directory in Qiqqa, we also load the other
All these files are optional; the EXISTANCE of the Extra: the developer config files can now also override the registry entries used by Qiqqa for various configuration settings:
While almost all these settings are only relevant for testers or very specialized activities, the You can still easily change that value using the and any change there will be saved to the Portable Application's json5 config file so the next time you start Qiqqa, it will automatically point at the desired directory tree. This feature will be available in the next test release. |
Is it possible to install the open-source version of Qiqqa without admin rights?
At the moment admin rights are needed to run the setup80.exe on Windows, but I am wondering if it is possible without admin rights.
One ideal solution would be to have a ClickOnce verion as it is provided here http://www.qiqqa.com/Download
Thank you for your time
