Power Users Login and need to reinstall apps

[Guest]

My power users login after I install an app using Administrator permisssions. When they try to launch the new app the MSI comes up trying to install the product again.... I can fix it by giving them admin permissions or by letting the MSI ramble through registering the product for the new profile. Everybody want to log in with their own userid.... This could get pretty monotonous.

Most applications weren't designed for this type of multi-user environment.
Such applications need to be installed in each specific user's account to
whom you wish to grant access.

First, be sure the account to which you wish to grant access is set to
administrator and not limited. Install the applications to the same folder
in which it was originally installed. This will look the same as one
install on your hard drive but create the pointers necessary for this user
to have access to the application.

Once the installation is complete, you can return the account to its limited
status if that is what you want and the user should still have access.
