For an Admin install of RDI run it elevated (run-as-admin) in order to do updates, licensing, apply plugins or the like that need to modify the configuration but be sure to close RDI then start normally to do work. To do otherwise can cause interesting permissions problems later.
I advise folks to do the User install unless there is a good reason to do an Admin install as installing plugins, certs, etc., is all that much simpler.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [WDSCI-L] iSphere upgrades and RDi install I think I have figured out something about installing iSphere updates in RDi that had been bothering me.
1. On my laptop, which is configured for VPN work into the office, I have installed RDi as myself (without admin authority - because I do not have admin authority)
a. The iSphere updates to RDi go smoothly with no issues.
2. On my office PC I have installed RDi as administrator, so when updating iSphere I need to run RDi with admin authority (which I do have on the office machine), in order to apply the iSphere updates.
a. Because I run RDi daily without admin authority, applying iSphere updates as admin (and perhaps this applies to any plug-in), causes me to have to re-apply other plugins when I start up my normal RDi session.
I'm thinking that with RDi:
1. If you are going to install with admin authority you should run with admin authority Otherwise
2 Install as a plain-old-user and run as a plain-old-user.
This may have been obvious to others ... or maybe I'm just mistaken ... but it finally registered in my plain-old-brain.
BTW: Thank you again to Thomas Raddatz for creating and sharing such a great tool as iSphere.
