Summary: cannot install SpamBayes without elevated privileges

Initial Comment:
Under an administrated Windows Domain it is important 
that some users not have the ability to install their own 
software or modify their registry. And yet it is important 
that These same users, running Outlook & Exchange, 
have Spam filtering capability like SpamBayes.

It is not currently possible to install SpamBayes for a 
user from the Administrator account, it is also not 
possible to install SpamBayes from a locked down 
account. 

it would be great to have this feature in an upcoming 
version.

thanks,
AndrewZ

The documentation explains how to register for all users,
and the 1.1 installer offers to do this.

You certainly don't want non-admin users installing anything 
or making registry changes, agreed. But it would be nice to 
allow the admin to install for a user or class of users. Or have 
a separate util which enables for a user after SpamBayes is 
installed. Nero does this with a separate util called 'Burn 
Rights'. 

Thanks,
Andrew

A non-admin user can't get far at all here - such users
can't register COM objects in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, so is
pretty much screwed.

I agree, it would be great to have in the next version.  Any
takers?
