Looking at the ChemPlugin site, it looks like by default it would
install into "C:\Program Files". Typically ordinary users do not have
full privileges there, although they may have read privileges. If this
is the case, either you would need to run it in an elevated
(adminstrator) session, or try to reinstall it somewhere you do have
privileges. You probably need to have write privileges too, since
Python will try to write its compiled files into the same tree (but
these files may have been created during installation so possibly not an
issue). Re-installing it might require moving the license as well.
Note that I have never used this product, so I don't have any personal
experience about it to call on.

Hello-
I've been struggling with resolving environmental variables issues and I
believe it is linked to my company's administrator privileges. The program is
called ChemPlugin and I am attempting to run it using Python 3.10.8 on Windows.
I can't seem to get Python to recognize the PYTHONPATH that points to the
ChemPlugin\src. I have to download ChemPlugin using my administrator login
name, but Python is loaded to my local user profile. I can't seem to bridge
the gap.
I have been working with both the ChemPlugin group and our internal IT and we
are all stumped. Is there any experience with this issue?
Thanks,
Ginny
