It is a problem of the configuration for the Parrot installer. He just refuses to install, doesn't even try! Actually I just want to come to the contents of the package without the process of polluting my system (usually called installation). The only side effect of not installing it as administrator is that it can't change the system wide PATH variable and it can't pollute the registry (eg. registration of new file types, put its configuration in there)... gw
