App works as admin but not as user
Please help me with this scenario
I installed an application and that is working fine in admin mode. But, in user mode it's not working. What are the reasons and how to troubleshoot this?

Use FileMon and RegMon (Inbuilt in ProcessMonitor) to identify the permission issues..

I would recommend you to go with this method.. So that you can identify all permission issue with the application.. If you go with other methods like capturing the runtime registries/files and adding them to package is a big process and also you have to give permission to those files/folders..etc.. So, If you want to identify the issues in one shot, proceed with ProcessMon... - jagadeish 11 years ago

Forget these and use ProcMon. It comprises the essence of these two tools and has none of the restrictions. - anonymous_9363 11 years ago
"Not working" isn't a particularly helpful description of the problem, is it?
Anyone who had even a basic knowledge of operating systems would conclude that this is likely to be connected with the permissions that an admin-level user has over and above those of an ordinary user.
It scares the Hell out of me that your employer is letting somebody with so little knowledge of basic OS principles loose on their workstation estate.
Get some proper training before you do some serious damage.

AH VB, I have missed your entertaining and true comments. Hate this new format with a passion and looking for another place for serious packagers. - dandirk 11 years ago

It should be related with the permissions for normal user. Try to give permissions to the folder where the main exe of shortcut resides....
Hi Flag,
the error code in format nn-nnnnnnnn give you a first hint.
Check out www.app-v.info/app-v_error_codes.html for a possible solution.
Setting the "__COMPAT_LAYER" variable may solve your problem.

Thank you. Here above my question is regarding to Admin studio or Wise and not on App-v. Any ways Thanks. - vinodreddy10 11 years ago
check permissions for the installdir. Modify permission to folder will solve this problem.

Just like that you should not give permissions to INSTALLDIR.. Identify which files/folders in INSTALLDIR need permission..Proper investigaton needs to be done before giving any permissions to Users group.. Your package should work in Lockdown environment.. If nothing is helping then you can think on giving permission to INSTALLDIR.. - jagadeish 11 years ago
