Same goes for Unix, i= t would be much easier to just untar DS into a directory and run it instead= of having root install it. So installing DS is not possible even if DS could be run as pure Java appli= cation. Even if you have full control over your windows machine I don't like if Jav= a software registers with the system, I like it much better if a software c= an be unzipped into a folder and simply runs (as with Tomcat, Geronimo or E= clipse). A workaround right now is to run the DS setup in a vmware vm, zip the insta= ll folder and unzip on the target machine. --=20 This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
