OK, I have to admit that on these computers, I actually never tried
installing TortoiseHG. Only the all-in-one installer for Mercurial.
But as that installer is no longer maintained, and I read somewhere in the
changelogs/releasenotes for TortoiseHG that the installer was modified to
now require admin-privileges, I was kind of hoping that if the installer
would no longer require the admin-permissions, then it would at least still
be possible to install Mercurial (with extensions and extra packages), even
if I would miss the TortoiseHG overlay icons.
As I wrote in a seperate mail, I actually have a problem with TortoiseHG at
the moment, for which I prefer not to use it... But if that problem can be
fixed, and I'd actually want to use TortoiseHG everywhere, then it would
still be nice to have an all-in-one installer that I can use everywhere, and
that would install Mercurial + all-in-one extensions for me, but excluding
overlay-icons for Explorer on those machines where I can not get sufficient
privileges to do so.
non-admin users with admin permission will be able to installed. So I

Sorry for the confusion. I hope that I make more sense now. I didn't know
that the older version couldn't actually be installed either, because I
never tried on those particular machines.
Basically I just want an all-in-one Mercurial installer, and if it installs
TortoiseHG as optional extra (when it can get the admin permissions to do
so), then that would just be a welcome extra to that installer.
But that's not a request to make on the TortoiseHG mailing list!
