Hi, I can't install voidImageViewer on the standard user. (screenshot is for qBittorrent)

Please make an installation for the current user/all users. (like other apps)


Thanks.

Thank you for the issue report.

What's with the qBittorrent screenshots?

What happens when you try to install voidImageViewer?

What's with the qBittorrent screenshots?

I didn't have access to a computer and created this issue using my mobile phone, which is why I couldn't post a screenshot of the app.

What happens when you try to install voidImageViewer?

As you can see, when I run voidImageViewer on a standard user, it asks for a password and if I don't enter it, the application won't install. This is just an image viewer and doesn't require admin access. It would be better to let me install the application only for the current user, like ImageGlass.

Administrator privileges are required to copy voidImageViewer.exe to C:\Program Files\voidImageViewer

It you want to install voidImageViewer.exe without administrator privileges, please try the portable zip version.

Extract voidImageViewer.exe to a location where the standard user has write permissions, eg:

C:\Portable-apps

Currently, most program installers ask whether the program should be installed for all users or just the current user (see the screenshots I posted above).

If the program is installed for all users, it will be installed in %ProgramFiles%

And if the program is installed for the current user, it will be installed in %LocalAppData%\Programs

If this option is added to the installer, I can install voidImageViewer on my work computer that has a standard user.

I have put on my TODO list:
install for current user only option, install to %LocalAppData%\Programs

Thank you for the suggestion.

For now, you can extract the portable version to %LocalAppData%\Programs
You can set associations as a standard user under voidImageViewer -> Tools -> Options -> General
