Hello out there,

I have a client that is accessing an Ingres DB using the Ingres Client
2.6 as well as OpenRoad 4.1 on a Windows 2003 Server. My question is:
Is there anyway to run/install the OpenRoad application without granting
it Windows Administrator privileges?

Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Regards

Chris

Hi Chris.

I will take a flyer on this answer and assume you have a Windows
2003 Server box with terminal services providing access to many users.
The Windows 2003 server provides the applications but the Ingres
database resides on a different server (you use Ingres net to
communicate).... Let us know if this assumption is wrong.

To install OpenRoad/Ingres client you probably will require admin
privileges because you're executing an installation script, setting
system wide variables and creating services etc. (Yes you can just
copy things but keep things simple !)

To run OpenRoad/Ingres client applications you will not require
administrator privileges... !!

Normally you will install Ingres/Client as an NT service set to
automatic (I also create an extra backup service to protect the
symbol.tbl file on boot).

Now your users can use the OpenRoad/Ingres Client applications
without any privileges.

Hope this clarifies

Cheers

Gary
