Re: FreeCad 0.20 on windows only runs as administrator

The folder "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\FreeCAD 0.20" doesn't exist, though "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\FreeCAD" does - but that contains only a "cache" folder, and I have "full control" over it. There is a user and system .cfg f...

Re: FreeCad 0.20 on windows only runs as administrator

I have a Samba3 domain server at home which I've been doing for the last 20 years. Normally I log in on my pc as my usual username (which is not *the* administrator but does belong to the local administrators group on my pc). I think it goes to "roaming" as that's what the domain controlle...

Re: FreeCad 0.20 on windows only runs as administrator

Thanks for fixing the image link.

I also tried the "portable" install and had the same issue, it also required admin rights to avoid aborting with the unknown runtime error.

Re: FreeCad 0.20 on windows only runs as administrator

When I chose "for me only" it did install into "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\FreeCAD\". I uninstalled completely (all versions and settings), rebooted, and reinstalled and still have this issue. I also tried the fix from the other thread of allowing local\users to have ful...

Is this workbench supported in FreeCAD 0.20? I'm getting the error "No module named 'freecad.plot.Plot'" when I select the "Air Plane Design" workbench. I have the "Plot Workbench" installed, but I noticed this thread references the "Plot Module" which now red...

Re: FreeCad 0.20 on windows only runs as administrator
