## Setup

It seems to be a bug of the installation bundle (I was able to reproduce it). Can you retry the installation and un-check “install desktop shortcut” ? You can also just ignore the error (click the OK button) as Scilab will be installed anyway (with no Desktop shortcut, but you can create it afterwards).

Hello S.

Update:

I installed Scilab today on another PC. Again with no admin privileges. Unfortunately I receive the same error message.

Yes, like I said above this is now a known problem of the installation bundle. Just click OK at the error dialog box, Scilab installation will be done anyway.
