Running programs for non-previleged users on XP

[Sathyaish]

Scenario
===========

(1) You write a program using some programming language, say, C#.

(2) You make an assembly out of the program by compiling it. It is a
single module assembly.

(3) You create a setup program for this.

(4) During the setup, the user, an administrator group user, selects
the option, "Install this program for all the people who use this
computer, and not just for me."

(5) The administrator group user finishes installing the program. Then
he goes on to use it. He is able to use it.

(6) The administrator group user logs off.

(7) Another user, let's call him by the name John, who's only a
"regular user" who does not belong to the administrator group (not even
a Power User), logs in and wants to use the program. He double-clicks
on the program exe icon on the desktop. It doesn't work for him.
Questions:
============
(1) Is is even possible or a reasonable demand that the user who does
not have administrative previliges be able to use the program. It must
be noted that the intention is so, since the administrator who
installed the program supplied the choice "Install for everyone" while
installing it.

(2) If it is possible and a reasonable demand, how can it be
accomplished?

the bare essentials of the problem.

Basically you'll have to find out what "doesn't work" for him and to fix
this. For example with XP there are some location where they can't write
(such as c:\Program files). If for example the application tries to write
something et this location you'll have to write this at some other location
etc...

Try to start by finding out exactly what fails (message, possible location
int he code). You should be able to fix this or to ask how it could be
fixed...
