In my workplace we have Windows XP (SP2) installed on people's computers. We each have our own logins, but we generally cannot perform administrative duties (we have a sysadmin for that). I've just installed Firefox 2.0.0.12 in my account and everything went fine. But next, while trying to install the Flash Player plug-in, it aborts, saying it needs admin privileges (apparently to write some global key in the registry). I asked the admin, but he declined, claiming that we're free to install whatever in our own accounts (these are shared across the domain, btw), but that there is no reason we should ever need admin privileges, even for a single workstation. I actually agree with the guy: Afterall, Flash Player is supposed to be a user program, why would it ever need to be installed as an admin? Now, i realize that Adobe itself claims that it must be installed by an admin.
On the other hand, i once installed Flash (an older version) in my home Linux box and it never required root. So, my question is: Is there any way i can put Flash running in XP with Firefox without using admin privileges? Perhaps an older version of Flash would do it? (I don't mind running an older version, i have Flash 7 at home and it always works fine.) Or perhaps manually installing the plug-in without using the installer provided by Adobe? Or even fooling the installer somehow into thinking it could write into the registry without it actually being able to? Has anyone faced this situation before? Thanks for your reply, supergirl260.
Looked into it, and tried the.xpi method: It's similar to the installer, in that Firefox itself attempts to install the plug-in, but the install script fails for the exact same reason: Can't write to the registry (inside HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE). They also propose another way, and i haven't tried it yet: To install the plug-in normally in some XP machine with Firefox (which will require admin rights) and then copy the file NPSWF32.dll from the plug-in directory into the same dir in the other machine.
