Summary	0018726: No way to install addons per user (as in MM4)
Description	Currently when addon is installed, it is always installed to [MM5 install folder]/scripts/ or [MM5 install folder]/skins/ This isn't problem for portable installs, but for regular installs (MM5 installed to 'Program Files (x86)') I would expect write access issues whenever a user without admin rights installs an addon. In MM4 we had a checkbox: [x] Install for the current user only (doesn't require admin rights) i.e. we should add the same checkbox to MM5 when installing a script/skin/plugin. EDIT: Because the settings and the database are only saved per user then it would make sense that addons function in the same manner. i.e. no need to continue support multi-user installations and adding the checkbox, but always install per user.
Tags	No tags attached.

Fixed in build	2601

Please test this carefuly as there have been quite a lot of changes. i.e. installing/uninstalling to various locations, configuration of scripts/plugins, whether icons are shown properly etc. Test note: The install path can be viewed in the Addons dialog when hovering mouse over the addon's title: image.png (37,992 bytes) image.png (37,992 bytes)

Feedback: I would do few small corrections for portable installs to not to move installs to "[MM5 install folder]/portable/" but leave defaults to it in "[MM5 install folder]/"
