Installing Driver without admin rights.

Wolfestine

Hi,

I am trying to install IQDriver, but do not have access to the ProgramData folder on my machine. This causes a System.UnauthorizedAccessException. Is there a way to override the folder to be used for ProgramData?



Thanks,

You can create a folder called 'Drivers' under the LINQPad folder and manually copy the driver files there instead. Use the same directory structure (drivers\DataContext\4.0\IQDriver (5b59726538a49684)

The easiest way to do this is to install the IQDriver on another machine with rights to ProgramData, and then copy everything under ProgramData\LINQPad\Drivers to the LINQPad\Drivers folder on the other machine.

Thank you for your reply. Got it working the hard way

@JoeAlbahari I have been using your tool on an off for about 5yrs now. Huge fan. LINQPad has taught me a lot. Thank you.
