German reunification and failed installation of LINQ

 

Today is holiday in Germany cause of the reunification 1990 of eastern and western Germany. So no business day and I am not in the office.

I decided to play around with some tools and try to install LINQ and BLINQ

Hmm I was quite surprised and have not seen ever before that my machine must be in the domain to install some software.

[UPDATE] As David pointed out. The Setup is looking for "Users" "Power Users" and "Creator Owner" and this fails in my German OS. I manual created it and setup works fine. I am still quite afraid on what's happens next.

Actually, this error is not related to domains. The installer just checks whether a group called "Users" (and some others as well) exists, i.e. this part of the installer is not smart enough to look for "Benutzer" on a German system instead. Just create local group with the names he is asking for (Users, Power Users, Administrators, I believe) and you should be fine.
