Hi,

 

The actual configuration of Inno Setup for the installation of pgAdmin4 requires admin privileges on the computer :

https://github.com/postgres/pgadmin4/blob/master/pkg/win32/installer.iss.in#L31

                                PrivilegesRequired=admin

 

I have read the whole configuration, and I think that this constrain could be remove if HKCU (HKEY_CURENT_USER of Windows registry) is used instead of HKLM (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE).

 

The pgAdmin package provided by entreprisedb can be installed without admin rights, but it is an old version of pgAdmin.

 

Do you think that this modification is possible?

 

Regards,

Antoine
