As it happens I got a chance to work for a company where every developer gets a Window desktop to work on, without giving the admin rights to run things as Admin. On that I tried installing "Spring Tool Suite" and after Installing that I tried starting the embedded server "Pivotal tc Server Developer Edition v3.0".
But I got the following error message :-
Publishing the configuration...

Here the embedded tc server is not able to create the appropriate instances of server by creating the required files.
It was recommended that I install Spring Tool Suite into a location that I have full read/write access.
Is is possible to create a folder in windows wherein I have the aforementioned access.
There is little chance that I will be given admin rights for the system. In this scenario how to do that, I mean how to create a location in my system wherein Spring-Tool Suite could function properly?
