using program with new user profile

[jocoyn]

I have created a new user profile on my laptop and the program is not available in the profile
Do I have to reinstall the software while under that profile? My other programs are available.

I have copied my topofuion files over to the same directory in that foder but I cannot change my path when I log on the program in the profile under which I originally installed the program..........

Suggestions?

Right click on TopoFusion.exe (probably inC://Program Files/TopoFusion). Click on properties, clcik on the security tab and see if you new profile is there. If it is click EDIT and give it all the allow everything but special permissions. See if that helps.

Afraid not. The new profle is not there but there is one for me as admin and one for me and users.............and I did check all those permissions and apply and ok........but still not there.

How about uninstalling TF then re-installing from the new profile?

That is what I may need to do.......give that profile admin rights then take away after the install.
For now I was able to do a patch......I clicked on a gpx file and that opened the program so I just removed the waypoint and put in a new one and saved it so the program opens up with the waypoint file which I stuck on my toolbar. It asked for my authentication info on the first go.....but the program is still not visible in the program list.

I should have thought this out first but I am carrying my laptop to team training and as a "just in case" backup unit for searches [or if I beat the trailer there]  and I want to password lock my personal stuff since I am the computer "admin". So creating a profile for the team to use made the most sense.

It is strange; all my other programs are acceissble. And I put the data files in the right folders on the other profile [and they do map to the new folders Documents folder too.]

When reinstalling, there often is a choice whether to make the software available to the current profile or all users. Pick the all users for TF and that should solve the problem.

Yeah, I think you need to install on the new profile.  It's been a while since I dug into that stuff in the installer.  I think there is a "run as.." option that will let you run the installer as an admin while logged into a different profile.  But giving them temporary admin rights works too.

This way you can have the different profiles have different TF settings (.ini, loaded GPX files, etc).
