installation choice

#1 Post by genzi » 2014-03-13 20:16

Hi! When launching the installation of Filezilla, it asks me to choose the installation options:
"who should this application be installed for?
Please select wheter you wish to make this software available to all users or
just yourself.
- Anyone who uses this computer (all users)
- only for me (xy)
(Installation for all users requires Administrator privileges)"

Do I have to choose "anyone"?
What is better?
(and what does it mean "installation for all users requires administrator privileges"?) :roll:
Thank you!

No.

Neither. For a machine used by one user only, there's no difference. On shared PCs you decide if only you or everyone will be able to use FileZilla (with separate sites and settings).
(and what does it mean "installation for all users requires administrator privileges"?) :roll:
Exactly what it says. Installing for all users does require administrator (highest) privileges for the OS. If you don't have them (work machines with limited accounts) only installing for the current user will work.
