Compatibility & Security Settings

We are trying to use GIMP in one of our online learning classes. I am trying to verify if GIMP 2.6 is Windows7 compatible and will run on a computer whose users are not administrators. Will it run on computers with local user right set as power users?

I appreciate the input.

Thanks.

Windows 7, yes.

I have honestly never run it as a non admin, but I have no reason to think it won't run...installation may be a different problem though.

On windows computers I don't have admin rights, I just put the portable version of Gimp on it. This can be found here it's useful to you: http://portableapps.com/apps/graphics_pictures/gimp_portable

It runs OK in a non-admin id on XP.

All versions of GIMP are fully compatible with limited users - all configuration is saved in user's home directory, and GIMP doesn't need to write anywhere else.
