Did you check the permissions on the files that were
installed? Of there may be a file in the Windows or System32 directories
that they need permissions on?
Is anything logged that would give you an idea where it
hangs? What's Inuit have to say?

running Windows XP SP2, and our servers are Windows 2003. The situation is
that our Accounting department uses Quickbooks, and about 70 of our employees
need to use an application that comes with Quickbooks called "QB Timer".
It's free for use for our employees and it integrates with Quickbooks without
requiring a Quickbooks install on each machine. Now, the quandry:
according to Intuit/Quickbooks, the program requires at least Power User
permissions to install and run. Neither I, nor our CIO are willing to give
local Power User permissions for these users, as that opens things up to too
many potential problems, but our CFO and COO are REQUIRING the use of this
application, or a similar one that integrates with Quickbooks. Now, the
QBTimer is free, which is good, so that's the *preferred* app to use. It
comes as an exe with a few other files, so I used WinInstall LE 2003 on a clean
XP SP2 machine to package it into an MSI file. That worked well, and I can
install it/assign it through GPO - even if the user doesn't have local
Power User privs. However, true to form with Intuit products, it won't run
if the logged on user doesn't have local admin or PU privs. If I grant PU
privs to the user, it runs fine. I feel like I am --> <-- this close
to getting this done, but I ran out of ideas to get this to work. I tried
looking at the reg file that was made when I ran WinInstall and gave the users
full rights to the specific areas in the registry to see if that did anything;
which it didn't.
Does anyone else have any siggestions, or am I
stuck with Intuit's "users must have >= Power User privs" to run that
app?
ANY help or suggestions are GREATLY
appreciated!
