Description:
When first trying to migrate an Oracle database. I was asked to point to the location of ojdbc14.jar. Then the program tries to copy the file into the program path. This is forbidden for normal users, because there is no write permission for normal users under NTFS in the program-folder.

How to repeat:
Get the package, unzip it and try to migrate an Oracle database. The coying of the ojdb14.jar fails in not member of admin-group or having special write-permissions to this dir.

Suggested fix:
Do not store the file itself, just store some information of the storage in the registry. If download from internet is used, just store it i.e. in .../All users/Application Data/....

Thank you for a problem report. I'd call it a reasonable feature request - to give non-admin users ability to use MT in such cases.

Many thanks for writing a bug report. We are on the way to implement full functionality of MySQL Migration Tool into MySQL Workbench. We won't add this feature request anymore.
