confused   Installation on Win XP without admin rights
Hello,

I am happily using on my home machine (Linux Ubuntu) and I try to get is installed on my work laptop (WinXp) without the admin rights.

Here is what I have tried
- Use the EXE install package: Installation stopped because of lack of admin rights

- Use of Java webstart installation.
-- Installation when well and I have a menu option pointing to "C:\WINDOWS\system32\javaws.exe -offline "C:\Documents and Settings\Fincra\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\javaws\http\Dwww.sweethome3d.com\P80\AMSweetHome3D.jnlp"
-- I get the splash screen then nothing.
-- I could not find any log

- use of the jar file
-- launch by using the command "java -jar SweetHome3D-3.0.jar"
-- I got the splash screen and the following error message
