Can i run Erlang without local admin rights on Windows?

I have a machine which doesn't give me local admin rig开发者_JAVA百科hts. Is it still possible to run erlang on it, as I cannot run a windows .exe installer to install erlang?

You can copy erl.exe (plus the runtime system and all the libraries you need) from another installation and run it without the need to install. As long as you are allowed to execute files it should be okay.

Forgive me for not being as smart as Zubair, but I would like to know exactly how to do this. I do not have admin privilege, cannot run installers, and cannot copy files to C:\WINDOWS. In particular, I cannot write to C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS or C:\WINDOWS\system32.

How do I get a list of exactly what libraries are required by the various erlang executables ?

I have all the MS redistributable libraries and manifests, but I don't know where to put them to make it work. The redistributable library structure has directories such as Microsoft.VC90.ATL, Microsoft.VC90.CRT, etc. Each directory contains relevant dlls and a manifest.

Do I copy all the contents into the ERL_HOME\bin directory or ERL_HOME\erts-x.y.z\bin or ERL_HOME\erts-x.y.z\lib ? or leave them in some other directory and put those entries in the PATH ? or do I need to build the paths implied by the manifests (i.e. where they would be copied into the WinSxS cache) using hashes and version numbers in the paths, then put those entries in the PATH ?
