Celestia -installation + Constellation Explaining Script

Post #1by Zsl » 20.11.2006, 12:59

Hi :)

is it possible to run Celestia without installation on a Windows XP ?

means copy and paste all files to the other Computer (no Adminrights) and run?

or can i run Celestia also from a SC card ?

Thx for this great Programm!

Btw i search for a good script explaining the 88 Constellations or a part of them cause i have to make a presentation about the Southern Hemisph?¤re or is there anyone who can tell me what are the most exiting and interesting parts for such a presentation?
At Motherload i didnt find a script for Constellations - must do it myself then?

Thx

Ralf

Ralf,

I can run Celestia without installation and without admin rights on my IBM-Notebook (WinXP Pro) by copying the Celestia folder from my desktop PC. I think it should work for you as well.
Maybe some DLL-files won't be found by Celestia. If so, put a copy of them in the Celestia folder.
For me there are no problems so far.

But anyway, why don't you simply try it? (It might work - or not :wink: ).

Bye
Andy

The Cel://URL functionality won't work without a modification to the registry, but otherwise it should be fine.
