Bug #5420
closedTwo types of NPE issues when 2.2.0 installed and run by a non-admin windows user
0%
Description
In Windows XP I installed 2.2.0 using a non-admin user account and get NPEs when trying to do a component search or when clicking on the Sources button.
As background: during installation you're prompted as to which user you want to install as. I installed as this non-admin user, and since this user can't write to Program Files, I installed into a directory in this user's home dir (Documents and Settings\etc). Also, XP gives you an option to "protect my computer and data from unauthorized program activity" when installing -- I unchecked this, in hopes of avoiding any issues.
As this non-admin user, I also tried installing in a different way - when prompted on which user to install as, I installed into Program Files as an admin user. Surprisingly the two types of NPEs still occur.
When you try to do a Component Search, you get:
