Is there anyway that the XMouse Installer can be persuaded not to write to the Windows Folder.
Basically am trying to install without admin rights and installer is failing on a write to the windows folder.
Great alternative would be a portable version (if possible).
Thanks
Phat

Urm, I thought it only writes to the program files folder not the windows folder... but either way...
I believe its just the installation.. .and actually you don't \"need\" that you could just copy the EXE and DLL file from a machine that you installed on and run them from anywhere... That should work...
But I cant change the installation easily AFAIK - it's really basic using visual studio setup & deployment and I don't get all that much control over it.

Will Give it a try.
Phil,
Thanks mate - will give it a try - I usually just try copying the program folder to my USB Drive for apps that aren't specifically portable and then just seeing if they work.
I think I just assumed that as XMouse was writing to the Windows folder this wouldn't work ?
Thanks for the quick response.
