Re: Cannot "Install for anyone using this computer" on Windo

To be clear, we have a small number of reports of F@H failing to work with non-admin accounts on Windows, and another small number of reports of F@H working with non-admin accounts. This is not definitive. Also, we have some body of successful users who never bother to report their success, and anot...

Re: Cannot "Install for anyone using this computer" on Windo

Glad it worked for you, but it definitively does not work for me. You don't get more complaints because it is a very high threshold for newcomers to weigh in here and most new users like me would just give up instead of complaining here. Again, no loss, you don't need me and the cost/benefit ratio f...

PantherX directed me to this thread from another thread that I started, 'Cannot "Install for anyone using this computer" on Windows 7' ... Wow. This is a very long & complex thread, starting with a set of complex & indefinite instructions, followed by attempts to dismiss this as a ...

Re: Cannot "Install for anyone using this computer" on Windo

Thank you for directing me to that thread. Wow. That is a very long & complex thread, starting with a set of complex & indefinite instructions, followed by attempts to dismiss this as a non-problem as well as maybe offering one or two other candidate solutions. You have done me the favor of ...

Re: Cannot "Install for anyone using this computer" on Windo

No. That was actually what we did the first time: From my local standard account, launched fah-installer_7.5.1_x86.exe, at the UAC prompt entered the name & password of a local admin account, and proceeded with the installation. After that, F@H did not appear anywhere in my start menu. If we log...

Re: Cannot "Install for anyone using this computer" on Windo

Ok that explains it, thanks for the clarification. So is there any way to run F@H as a standard user? I can get an admin to install the client software, but I cannot log in as an admin myself. I just want to run FAH on one non-admin account on the machine. Or how about I download & install an ol...

Using installation file fah-installer_7.5.1_x86.exe. I am following the Custom Installation instructions at the "custom-installation-advanced-users" page (sorry, as a first-time forum user I am forbidden to post the link, but you know where I mean). According to those instructions, after i...
