I would like to install RhinoVault in a student lab environment for teaching. The install method via Anaconda fails because admin rights are required on Windows to create symlinks (so the students can't do this for themselves).
This symlink approach is problematic for another reason. The user’s Rhino folder is part of their network roaming profile and so will persists between logins even if they move to a different lab computer. However, the Anaconda environment created in the preceding steps is created in temporary scratch space local to the computer and is deleted when they logout. So even if the symlinks could be created, they would become broken on logout.
Hopefully an install method can be developed which is compatible with installation on shared, multi-user computers which doesn't require admin rights for the end user.
