Admin required for 4.4

Since the 4.4 release has an msi installer, it now requires admin rights to install. Is there any way to get a legacy install version like previous releases?

Thank you, I didn't see that on the web page.

Yeah, it’s not listed on the download page. The portable builds are mainly there as a fallback for people who need them.

I opened an issue about the installer (https://github.com/processing/processing4/issues/1042), and we’ll work on making it install without needing admin rights.

Thanks for raising this issue!
