I've run into an issue a couple of times now, where I'll install an application logged into my account (admin) and when another family member logs in, they get an error when trying to launch said app. In the most recent case the error is "you can't open the application "echelon book 1 demo" because it is not supported on this architecture". This app opens fine from my login (where it was installed). I had fixed this problem with another app by setting the permissions for the folder it was in so everyone could read/write, but that hasn't worked in this case. Is there some way to keep this from happening on future installs?
