Install for all users

[Staggan]

Hi.

We are trying to make sure that if our application is downloaded and installed by someone with administrator privelages that other users can also use the application.

Currently we install to C:\Program Files\ by default but allow the user to install to another folder if they wish.

If anyone but the admin account tries to run the application it does not work, but if I copy the application folder to the desktop of the other user account it works fine...

Any ideas?

Thanks

I should add that after more investigation the problem is as follows:

The game creates a number of system and log files in its local folder, in this case Program Files, which does not work for non admin user accounts...

My understanding is that non admin user accounts do not have write permission in a number of folders, and so this could prevent us doing many things, including patching the application.

Any help would be appreciated.

You would need to change the folders permissions at install time to allow all users to change it -- look in the SUF8 examples forum, I think the last post is by Ulrich who posted a nice example on how to do that. Hopefully it will apply to SUF7.
