Answer:
My DOORS server and all my clients have been installed when logged in as a user with Administrator privaleges. I agree, the manual is confusing in that respect.

The install manual page 24 suggests that to install a v7 client I should log into the PC as the "administrator" and NOT just as a user with "admin" privaleges. Is this true? Anything else I need to know?

Louie,

I have some 500 users that have all installed as a user with admin privileges. We have some minor problems with a couple of installs but they are related to what was already on the PC and not what user was logged in during install. It all boils down to this, I've not seen any evidence that the Administrator has to be logged in.

I'd just like to second Dave's comment. I have just over 300 users that have installed V7 clients within the past month. All only had admin rights. We observed no problems related to rights.

I've had a problem installing DOORS relating to this - the database server wouldn't start.

I don't know whether it was a SAM/authentication issue (I had logged in while disconnected from the network using the cached credentials), but thereafter I could only install cleanly by logging in as the Administrator on the local machine domain.

I'm guessing that logging in as "Administrator" on the local/machine domain worked because it didn't require any authentication with a DC or a SAM file.

The DOORS installer installs services, files and registry entries (in HKLM) - so you would expect that the user need only be a member of the "Administrators" group in the local/computer domain. As you have observed, most of the time this will work.
