Guys -

Is there any way to run a patch for a user who don't have an administrative privileges on a given machine?

My patch does the following:
- updates files in the program directory
- occasionally creates registry keys in HKCU
- writes to log file in %ProgramFiles%
- occasionally registers OLE servers

What about running TrueUpdate in non-admin mode?

Thanks!

The patch needs enough access rights to do those things. You might be able to promote it when it's launched, e.g. something like RunAs.
