Windows Vista user privilege requirements for using the product

Windows Vista users have additional considerations related to user privileges and product installation choices.
To enable users who do not have Administrator authority to work with the product, complete the following steps:
  • Do not install the product into a package group that uses the C:\Program Files directory path.
  • Do not choose a shared resources directory in the C:\Program Files directory path.
Note: Similarly, if you are extending an existing Eclipse installation on Windows Vista, do not install Eclipse in the C:\Program Files directory path.

If you do install the product in a package group that uses C:\Program Files or choose a shared resource directory in C:\Program Files, Windows Vista users must run the product as Administrator.

To allow Windows Vista users to run as a non-Administrator user, you must reinstall the product to make new selections for the package group and shared resources directory. For information about installing as an administrator or non-administrator, see Installing as an administrator or nonadministrator
