I've just downloaded the lasted update of OmniPlan from my main non admin account running Leopard (latest update) when I drag the updated app into the finder it asks me if I want to replace the version I have and then to Authenticate, which I do with the admin user details ( I run my day to day business from a non admin account) but it's telling me that I have not enough privileges!!

Any ideas?

Log in as the admin, then make the drop. See if that works.

Or just delete the original first. This is a known quirk. Also, someone here mentioned that if you try it again, it will work the second time.

I had the same permission problem. I believe it is Error -36. It seems to come and go with me...
As mentioned, if you delete the previous version first, then your upgrade will be fine...
