About NeeView
Starting with v45.0, the installation type changes to Per-User, eliminating the need for administrator privileges. Per-Machine installations from v44.1 or earlier cannot coexist and must be uninstalled first. If the new installer detects a v44.1 or earlier installation, it will display a dialog prompting uninstallation and halt the installation process. User data will be carried over.
