Is it possible to use the Native Image Generator (ngen.exe) without administrator privileges?
The MSDN documentation says that you need administrative privileges.
Remarks: To run Ngen.exe, you must have administrative privileges.
As far as I know, you need admin privileges, because the native images are installed into the c:\windows\assembly\...
directory.
I would like to know if .NET allows to place the native images in a user config folder, or in the application folder, so you can use ngen.exe without administrative privileges.
The reason for that is that my app installer does not required admin privileges, since it's installed in c:\Users\theuser\appdata\local\...
instead of program files.
