Description:
The installer shows the error: "You need Administrator privileges to be able to install MySQL Tools 5.0."
However, there doesn't appear to be any need for administrator privileges as a zip without installer is also available.

Please remove this check/requirement.

How to repeat:
Try to install as normal user (not to Program Files of course).

Thank you for a reasonable feature request.

It is possible with actual version to install as user. But in any case libraries from MySQL server are needed and of course the user need to have rights for these libraries.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has already been fixed in the latest released version of that product, which you can download at
