PRB: All Users Do Not Have Access to Installed Application (311308)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 7.0
This article was previously published under Q311308

SYMPTOMS

If you use InstallShield Express - Visual FoxPro Limited Edition to create setup disks, the application is only available to the user who runs the set up and installs the application. The application is not available to everyone who is logged on to the computer.

CAUSE

By design, unless the set up includes the Customer Information dialog box, the user who installs the application cannot select the Anyone who uses this computer (all users) check box. If this check box is not selected, the application is only available to the user who installs the application.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, include the Customer Information dialog box in the Dialogs section of step 4, "Customize the Setup Appearance."

In addition, the user who installs the application must select the Anyone who uses this computer (all users) check box. This check box appears in the Customer Information dialog box under Install this application for.

If you have a third-party application, and it is not practical to obtain a new set up from the vendor, you can run the set up from the Microsoft Windows command prompt and append /V"ALLUSERS=1" to the end of the command. For example: 

C:\DISK ONE\SETUP.EXE" /V"ALLUSERS=1
