Hi,

The actual configuration of *Inno Setup* for the installation of
*pgAdmin4* requires
admin privileges on the computer :

https://github.com/postgres/pgadmin4/blob/master/pkg/win32/installer.iss.in#L31

PrivilegesRequired=admin

I have read the whole configuration, and I think that this constrain could
be remove if HKCU (HKEY_CURENT_USER of Windows registry) is used instead of
HKLM (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE).

The pgAdmin package provided by entreprisedb can be installed without admin
rights, but it is an old version of pgAdmin.

Do you think that this modification is possible?

Regards,

Antoine
