Default Program works fine as administrator, but not other users

We have a program that we loaded on XP Pro and it works fine when we log on as an administrator, but if you log in as another user, it won't even load the program. Any ideas or solutions would be greatly appreciated

Default Re: Program works fine as administrator, but not other users

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.
