Administrator privileges are required to complete the software installation. To allow a non-privileged user to perform the release registration process, the administrator must set SDD_USELOCALENV as a system variable as well as manually install the Microsoft Installer redistributable packages. The packages are available on the install media.
For more information, see the Support Center Knowledge Base Article: Installation best practices if users do not have administrator rights.
In order to properly complete the release registration by a non-privileged user, the SDD_USELOCALENV variable must be defined prior to the installation. If you have completed the installation without first setting the variable, the software must be uninstalled, the variable set, and then you can reinstall.
Table 1 describes the SDD_USELOCALENV system variable options.
