Installing Flash player without admin rights

[LeoZwalf]

Hi,

I'm using a PC which doesn't allow me to install anything as I don't have the admin rights. I'd really like to put Flash player on so I can see websites in their full. The prompt appears but when I choose 'Install' - it just doesn't happen.

Anyone know any roundabout way of installing it?

Thanks,
Leo

Log in as Administrator. Then install.
If you can't complete step 1, step 2 isn't going to work properly no matter how many ways you try it I'm afraid.

If this is a corporate machine then your stuffed unless you can show a business need to enable Flash. If you're a kid using the parents PC ask them to install it.

- what the passenger said.

Easiest way is to just ask the "owner" of the machine, either a person or the IT dept of the company / college.

There's not really any ways around it.

Good News: I have a solution.
Bad News: It is going to cost you £25-£30.

You can now install applications on a U3 USB Flash drive.

So you can walk around with your emails and a web browser (+Flash player).

Check out portableapps.com for software

and hardware info is here: www.u3.com/

The beauty of this system is all temp files /web pages /emails you read/visit are stored on your pen drive.

The drive can be password protected and is encrypted for your security .

Heh, I have a U3 USB stick but uninstalled the U3 software as it was getting right on my knackers and my car stereo wouldn't read it.

It's actually a work PC, shame there's no easy way round it, perhaps I'll have to sweet talk the girl in I.T.....

So she must be an IT girl :-)

Apologies, it's been a long day

Thanks for the suggestions chaps. Luckily the IT girl was on site today and was kind enough to install it with her admin rights.

I guess I owe her one now.....
