Running Database Studio without Administrator rights (Windows XP)

74 Views

Hi,

I just installed Database Studio Version 7.7.06.09 on Windows XP. I want to use it to access a local and a remote SAP DB. With the user who installed it this works fine, but this user has administrator rights on the machine and I tend to not work with this user.

Rather I'd prefer to use a local user 'harmless' without administrator rights. But when harmless tries to start Database Studio I get an error

"Read preferences for user management failed"

When I check Preferences-> Database Studio -> User Management

I get a dialog with an error which does not allow me to do anything.

I'm also asked to check file um.properties in <user_home>/sdb/.DatabaseStudio/.metadata/.plugins/com.sap.sdb.tools.core

That file does not exist. It also does not exist for my user with admin rights, so I would not know what to enter in that file.

If you can tell me what to do to fix this this would be highly appreciated.

TIA,

Thomas
