The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Installing software to a user account that does not have rights to install

Asked by WilliamSolberg in Windows Network Security, Windows XP Operating System, Windows 2003 Server

Tags: installing, software, users, xp

I am attempting to install an application on a Windows XP SP2 machine on a Windows 2003 network.  The User does not have rights to install.  The network administator does not want to change the user's rights to install.  I have installed the program under the network administators account and created a shortcut on the user account's desktop.  This does not work because the components are not properly registered under the user's accound in the registry.  I have attempted the install the program under the user's accound by right clicking on the setup file and running it as the administrator.  The install appeared to complete successfully but there was no program group and the same problems were present.  Can someone offer another solution to installing the program to this account?
