I have a machine to which I do not have Administrator rights. I tried building Synergy and putting together a folder with EXE's and DLL's, but it complains that the connection is refused (on the client) and won't connect to the server. Is there a way to create a run folder, so that we can avoid needing to run Windows Installer?
The error log in the window (without even clicking Start to connect the client) is:
NOTE: connecting to service...
ERROR: ipc connection error, connection refused
I assume it is trying to connect to synergyd.exe as a Windows service? Of course I don't have permissions to create/start a service.
If you don't have permissions, seek them from the powers that can give them to you. If they won't, then you pretty much have to live with it, as it's not your computer. :) Regardless of that, I'm not sure what you are asking from us exactly... We can't get you admin permissions, and you need them to install a service. – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2014-07-24T17:56:04.643
1I was wondering if there was a way to run without admin rights, without the need to install a service. That would be downright convenient, especially for systems where we have no control over what software gets approved for installation. – Jay Imerman – 2014-07-28T01:14:22.343
Bolton released a portable version about a year ago but he took it down and there hasn't been any word since. I constantly run into this wall when working with client laptops. – phil – 2014-12-16T14:26:37.963
