Downloading ltools clearly reviles "setup.exe" However, the tell tail
information comes from the text file titled NoADMIN.txt where the first
entry is
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to run LTOOLS, if you are running on a non-admin account under Windows
XP ?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Answer: It won't work, because ...
... if the admin doesn't trust you and does not give you his admin password,
why
should he let you fiddle with the harddisk?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It goes on, but really it is just more of the same you can not do it. Their
may be a way to modify their environment to make it run in a users
non-privileged space for USB devices, since in theory thier is no reason you
have to be admin on a windows box. (You can map user level hardware drivers
as a non-privledged user, it is one of thier many security flaws, but you
have to modify their projcet so it stays clear of system hardware and only
interacts with user hardware, like the USB key)
