Is there a way to use some kind of RAMdisk without previous installation of RAMdisk software of any kind with user privileges on system windows (XP, Vista or 7 at least)?
I found out it is not possible. Windows kernel simply need administrator privileges to install modul/driver for RAMdisk.

I'm installing WebSphere 8.5 for developers on my local computer, and I'm running into an error message A screenshot and the message is listed below.

"To run an application without administrative privileges on the Windows Vista operating >system, you must install the application package into a directory that is not virtualized. >The Program Files directory on Windows Vista is virtualized. To run an application with >administrative privileges after it is installed, right-click the package, and click "Run as >administrator"."
I'm actually on Windows 8 (64-bit), so this is a bit odd. How do I defeat this error?
Hello,
Install it into non virtualized directory (so not into Program Files).
It's always the best to use the shortest path possible, when installing Java based stuff on Windows. I prefer C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer etc.
The System requirements page suggests WebSphere Application Server for Developers 8.5.5 being supports Microsoft Windows 8.
WebSphere Application Server 8.5.0.1 seems to have introduced Windows 8 support as well.
I'm using the Crystal Report 10 viewer ActiveX control in an Access App I've written. Works great in Office 2003 on 32bit versions of Windows. The problem arrises when I try to run the program in 64 bit Windows (with 32bit Office). I get the following error:
Run-time error '429': ActiveX component can't create object
I get this error on the following line of my VBA code.
Set rdApp = CreateObject("Crystalruntime.application.10")
How can I get this to work in 64bit?
I don't have any specific experience with Crystal Report, but I do have some experience with installing components on a 64-bit Windows environment that were intended for 32-bit Windows, so here are some general suggestions of things to try:
Before installing, try loosening the security privileges - I have Windows Server 2008; on this OS, they're under Start | Administrative Tools | Local Security Policy. Many old installers are thwarted by these controls. You'll want to return them to their defaults after the install.
Make sure that you run the installer with admin privileges (right-click; run as Administrator).
Examine the installation log for Crystal Report - it may indicate a failure registering a component. In one instance, I was able to get the installation working by running the command to register the failed component manually, on an administrator-privileged command line (the command was in the log).
If acceptable, try to create a Windows Virtual Machine running a virtual Windows XP, and try the installations there (this might be a bit tedious, due to your need for MS Office).
Take a look at VMWare's ThinApp - this is intended for packaging applications for administrators, but this was the solution we ended up using to shield one of our 32-bit apps from Windows 64-bit perils
Hope this helps; we struggled for awhile trying different things to get our legacy apps working on a 64-bit environment.
I installed OpenDS on Windows 7 under C:\Users\ on port 389. (Admin privileges available)
However, I am unable to uninstall it. (I've tried using command line, GUI, stop-ds.bat, Killing the windows service, running as Administrator)
Any suggestions?
I assume you failed to unregister the Windows service.
Otherwise, uninstalling OpenDS is as simple as simply deleting the whole installation directory
Using an arbitrary Windows machine (2000/XP or later), I can
install Eclipse CDT to a USB drive
move that USB drive onto a different
Windows machine--one that does not
have any form of Eclipse software
already installed, and potentially a different version of Windows (but 2000/XP or later)
use Eclipse to develop application-level C/C++ programs on that second machine (and that includes using the debugger), running directly from the USB drive without copying anything to C:.
I can do all this without having Administrator privileges on either machine.
I can do the same with NetBeans, and with several other IDEs that support C/C++ development.
Is it possible to do this with any version of Visual Studio Express?
If not, can you explain the technical reason(s) this doesn't work?
Eclipse is apparently designed to be what Microsoft calls an XCOPY deployment...meaning that it doesn't require any special entries in the Windows Registry (or any other "installation identity" on the target machine) in order to work properly.
Visual Studio is most decidedly not designed like this. It makes extensive modifications to the registry during installation, and those entries (and any other resources like special folder locations) will be missing on any other computer.
So you might be able to install Visual Studio on a thumb drive, but some artifacts of the installation will be put on the C: drive, and you will only be able to use the thumb drive with that machine.
Maybe you could install VS Express in a VM running from the USB drive using Portable VirtualBox or VMPlayer. Not the best performance but its usable for not too big projects or learning.
It can definitely be done! I've seen a technician with a copy of it on a USB stick. the only visible flaw was that when you run on a different PC it requires you to enter the license. I could not see any other problems (speed/debugger etc. it all worked on his copy).

I believe the virtualized package I saw was made by this means:

Unfortunately it would be matter of experimenting with it...
No VM or extra software was needed!
