Need to install as admin but run as user

[TropTorp]

I want to say like I XYP, did the trial then purchased it. But trying to update to the latest version is frustrating.

I have two accounts on my (work) machine. My normal domain user account and a local admin account for installing software. If I install XYP as admin, then I can't get to my network resources and user account stuff. If I try to install under my user account, I'm getting errors, "error opening file for writing" in the Program Files directory.

I didn't want to necropost but the this post explains it too. viewtopic.php?p=181716

So what am I supposed to do?

In your user account: You have a "Startup.ini" file in the installation folder of XY?

Show its content...

Well I kind of don't anymore. In my frustration I uninstalled XYP, now I can't reinstall as user anymore. I reinstalled it as admin and this is what I have in startup.ini

[Appdata]
Path=%appdata%\XYplorer

In that case, get the portable version and extract it into %APPDATA% like:

Code: Select all

%APPDATA%\XYplorer

Inside of this folder you'll have
XY64.exe
XY64contents.exe
XY64ctxmenu.exe
etc.

Start it, it'll create a subfolder "Data" inside %APPDATA%\XYplorer
