[Gvsig_english] Unable to install the gvSIG's builds because of lack of permissions

[Benjamin Ducke]

Hi Silvio,

the OA Digital installer uses a bundled Java Virtual Machine. It is not
necessary to install any files outside the user's gvSIG installation
directory. In principle, this should be possible with the standard 
gvSIG installer, as well, but the gvSIG developers are more qualified
to comment on this. 

If all else failes, you can always download a JRE
and the Java Image I/O extensions manually, then install them into a
folder in your home directory and edit the gvSIG startup script to
point it to that folder -- no admin ever needs to know about it ;)

Another alternative is to install everything onto a removable USB
mass storage device. That way, you can run gvSIG on any PC that you
can log onto, without ever needing to install it.

Ben

Subject: [Gvsig_english] Unable to install the gvSIG's builds because of lack of permissions

Hello everybody,

So far I have been unable to test the 1.9 gvSIG's builds at work, where we use Windows xp home edition.
This is because I don't have the permission to install it. 
Especially the Java machine doesn't start because of this.
Obviously, I could ask  our administrator to help me out but he is very strict (it is really difficult to have the ok). 
Besides this procedure is really time-consuming.
With an "unstable" version as the latest builds (now 1244) I am pretty sure they would answer no :-)

Maybe it is difficult to do this but for the final release of gvSIG 2 I think it would be great to have an installer which doesn't complain about permission's stuff.
In short, I have been thinking about the installer provided for the gvSIG's 1 version released by OA Digital (their link is: http://oadigital.net/software/gvsigoade).
I don't know how they achieve this but with their installer it is possible to install the old version of gvSIG without problems (no problems of permissions whatsoever).
Even with the software Qgis I don't have any problems because, after downloading the "installer", it only takes me to unzip it and click on the .exe file to start Qgis.

Best regards,

Silvio
