Installing without admin privledges

IT admin here looking if it would be possible for end users to install Zotero without the need of local admin privileges.

    On Windows? This isn't something we test regularly, but in theory if you cancel the admin prompt when you first install Zotero, it should do a local installation that you have permission to update as a local user.

    The suggested solution also needs to be applied when installing updates.

    @ceres.barros: What do you mean by that? If you cancel the admin prompt and do a local installation, you should be able to update without any further admin prompts — the point is that it creates files your OS user can write.
