Hello,

I tried to install plsql developer but failed because at some point the installer needs admin permissions. I'm not quite sure why this is necessary. I chose a folder on my hard drive that is not protected.

I do not have admin permissions so now I have to fill out some forms ask around and wait for multiple weeks to try out the the plsql developer 13 features.

We are allowed to install every tool that does not need admin permissions...

Could you maybe change this behavior for future versions? Most IDE's I know don't need admin permissions anymore. (IDEA, VSCode, Eclipse, DBeaver, SQLDeveloper, ...)

Currently the installer always installs for all users on the PC. I have added an option to install only for the current user to the list of enhancement requests.

Thank you! This would help us a lot!

We tested this, and if all is well you do get the option to install only for the current user in the last step of the installation. If you select this option you do not need admin permissions. Can you verify this?

You can use:
msiexec /a "c:\program files\plsqldev1300x32.msi" /qb

and run plsqldev.exe from the new directory

If you update, you don't have an option "only for current user".
We are officially on 12 and I can't update to 13 for my user only, since 12 was installed for all users.
