  • How can I install a program without admin rights(windows7)?

    I got a new laptop from work and I dont have admin rights on it. I need to install a program for work and I dont have time to go to the corporate office and get the IT guy to do it. Iv got the cd and it's a legit program. If it's too much work Ill just wait and get the IT guy to do it.
    Thanks

    Most applications have a binary that you can just download and run without installing. What application are you wanting?

      Waukesha ESP. It's like an obd2 software program but for industrial Waukesha engines. I also have stuff like conversion calculators and compressor performance run software. It's annoying to have to get an IT guy to do it. I figure maybe Ill get one IT guys number and then just ask him to install 1 program at a time for several weeks. Maybe he'll get tired of it and promote my account to admin.

        You're probably fucked, you should open a ticket for stuff like that anyway.

          IT should be able to remote in and install.

            I'd advise against violating company policies. I just saw a coworker lose his job after 20+ years for doing something stupid like this.

              Yup. We restrict it for a reason.
