Why does 1Password for Windows require administrative rights? (Why is it not portable ?)

Hi!

My bad. I was misinterpreting the error.

In fact what happens is the installation silently fails due to Internet Explorer being configured behind a company a proxy that uses TLS man-in-the-middle certificates for TLS content inspection. The 1password domain has been configured not to be inspected for confidentiality reasons. But I think your installer tries to contact another domain (or subdomain) in order to download and/or activate something.

Running the installer on a default command line, nothing in the logs indicates it's a network issue. Same as double-clicking the file using the Windows GUI.

Instead, running the same .exe installer within a command line where the proxy is disabled works fine, and the installation ends successfully.

I'd suggest making the logs and dialog box a little bit more clear around networking issues.
