How to install Rdb ODBC Driver on NT without administrator privileges?
As I understand the ORAINST will write to Windows NT:s registry, this
requiers that you either are logged in as Administrator or a member of
the Administrator group.
Is there a "workaround" to let a unprivileged user install
Rdb ODBC Driver 2.10 on Windows NT?
In this case there is about 200 user running Windows NT without
admin. rights who are going to upgrade the Rdb ODBC Driver. The
company security model says that these users should not have admin
rights and therefore they can't upgrade.
This has causes the system manager a whole lot of extra work when he
has to log into each of these NT machines as Administrator and perform
the installation as Administrator.
I guess we (Oracle) don't have an answer for this but maybe someone has
some thoughts to share.

All ODBC drivers installed on 32 bit machines need to write to the
registry. I don't even think the ODBC installation writes these
directly. These are written through a call to the Microsoft ODBC driver
manager. This is the way Microsoft implemented it and there is not much
we can do from the Oracle side to help with this.
