Hi guys,
I'm still fairly new to Lazarus, and coming from Delphi I'm still working out some differences regarding the installation of my component library.
One thing I noticed is that I'm not yet sure I fully understand the installation concept of Lazarus itself :-). I should say though that when working with Lazarus, I'm logged in under a regular account, without admin rights.
Obviously, the Lazarus installer needs admin rights, since it needs to copy things such as a the Qt libraries to the Windows system directories.
But when I afterwards run the installed Lazarus under a regular user account (for now I tested this a few times on an old XP machine), I noticed a couple of problems.
1) The "directory for building test projects" is set to a directory only accessible to the admin user under which Lazarus was installed, so I need to change this manually.
2) When I try to recompile the IDE (after adding my own packages), I get error messages saying "unable to delete old state file..." (see attached screenshot).
Are these general problems with the Lazarus installer (e.g. not setting the access/ownership rights of the some of the files properly), or am I missing something and not doing it right?
Thanks in advance for any pointers!
Stephan
