Please log in for more thread options The tightening of permissions on application install areas began
with the release of W2k and tightened further with release of XP
and again with W2k3.
I am not familiar with your application architecture, as to where
and how users access the application. But, I would check how
the NTFS permissions are set (on the containing folder and on
the file itself also in case it is not inheriting), and if the access
is by a share over the network then also check the share level
permissions. The first is in the security tab in the properties of
the filesystem object, the second (share level) is under the
Permissions button on the Sharing tab for the shared folder
(again, in the properties of the underlying filesystem object).
Pay close attention to what groups have grants, and then
determine whether the new account that have issue are in
the groups as is so for the older account that have no problem.
