Must SQL Developer run as an administrator in Windows 7?
I have seen a number of posts discussing installation of SQL Developer in Windows 7 and I've been able to get the product installed and running on Windows 7 provided I log in as an Administrator or enter Administrator credentials when prompted. However, I want to be able to run this as a "regular" User without having to enter Administrator credentials every time. Is there additional access required for the "Users" group apart from granting Full Control to the Oracle home and all sub-directories? I've also granted Full Control access to the local admin account's folder under C:\users\local_admin\AppData and C:\users\local_admin\.sqldeveloper, but I'm still being prompted for Admin credentials every time I run SQL Developer as a User who doesn't have Admin privileges to the machine. (UAC will prompt the Admin user, but no additional credential is required.)
Please advise!! I'm using the version of SQL Developer bundled with Oracle Client 11gR1 (SQL Developer 1.1.3). Is there something else I should be using?
