The only part I'm not sure about is the VC++ runtime installation, and ensuring that will work for non-admins. Fahar; can you test that on a *completely* clean installation of Windows please? You must run the "install only for me" option before anything else (don't even install VMware tools). There's a test build at https://developer.pgadmin.org/~dpage/non-admin-install/pgadmin4-5.3-x64.exe. Note that it is not signed, so you will get a warning, but that can be ignored for the purposes of this test. -- Dave Page Blog: https://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EDB: https://www.enterprisedb.com
