If you cannot use 3.99.0.2 or later, try using [[http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/x2goclient/releases/pre-git/x2goclient-3.01-13-setup.exe|version 3.01-13]].

+<note tip>To install X2GO Client without admin rights (and without a start menu entry or an entry in "add/remove programs"):
+  - Open the X2Go Client setup.exe in an archive manager such as 7-zip.
+  - Extract all the contents to a new folder of your choosing. Let's assume this folder is called "x2goclient".
+  - Move the "pulse" and "VcXsrv" folders from under x2goclient\$_OUTDIR\ to directly under x2goclient\ .
+  - Delete the x2goclient\$PLUGINSDIR\ folder and the x2goclient\$_OUTDIR\ folder.
+  - Once finished, your main folder should have dozens of files directly in it, the "pulse" subfolder, and the "VcXsrv" subfolder.
