Windows: What are the minimum privileges required to install Symphony?

On Windows 2003, the default settings for the group policy are such that a non-admin user does not have privileges to install any software, regardless of whether that user is a domain user or a local user.

On other versions of Windows, the default settings allow non-admin users to install software. However, it is possible that your company has configured the group policy to disallow this.

If you would like a non-admin user to install Symphony, you must change this setting to allow non-admin users to install software. For more information about how your Windows administrator can change the operating system settings, refer to the FAQ topic in the installation section that deals with administrator permissions on Windows 2003.
