Hi,
So I'm trying to create a simple redistributable program for some
colleagues who aren't as Python-savvy as me. The program just runs in its
own folder, it doesn't need registry/COM/etc. It even runs fine if I just
use build_exe and copy the folder around, which is my current solution.
I would like to use MSI files so I can just send one file they can double
click (rather than expecting them to unzip/copy directories around).
However, any MSI I create always requires Administrator rights to install.
Now, I've been doing searching on this, and it is possible that MSI files
by their nature will always require Administrator rights to install, but I
can't find anything solid on this.
Is it possible to create an MSI (or any alternative) which is easy for
end-users to install and run without administrator rights? Or is the best
solution for this sort of scenario (2 other users, no administrator rights)
just to keep zipping and copying the exe.win-amd64-3.5 folder around?
There's a MWE up at
https://gist.github.com/WPettersson/746b6a7f18baef7916b1dee69cedc5ff if you
really want to try a simple test. With cx-Freeze 5.0.2, I get an MSI that
requires Administrator to install.
Thanks,
William
