Title: Install as admin, run as other user

right now you have to be an admin to install the program and run it. Can you set the installation so all users can run it after the admin has installed it? You have to hack the registry to do this as far as I can tell.

Monte,

This is an issue we've had before. The advice we gave the user then was:

There are 3 things you can do:

A) You can install PG Offline for each user from the User's account.

B)

1. Set read / write permissions for each user on 'ygroups.mdb' (PG Offline database) file. (Necessary if you use NTFS file system).

2. Download & open this registry file in notepad:

http://www.pgoffline.com/groupmanager/pgo_user.reg

3. Change "path" parameter to real path of PG Offline database (C:\\Program Files\\PG Offline\\ by default). Warning! You need '\\' instead of '\'.

4. Run this registry file from each user's account.

C)

You can make several copies of the ygroups.mdb file to several locations (for example into users' profiles), and set individual path for each user.

Hope that helps,

Cheers,

Wilson Logan.
