Hi there,
I'm running a system with Small Business Server 2000 (SP1a) and Win2000 (SP4) clients but am experiencing annoying problems with the older apps such as Corel WP Suite 8. Clients belonging to "Domain Users" group cannot start any of the apps in the suite without fatal errors. Unfortunately these apps need to stay so I need to find a way to assign sufficient priviliges for the programs to function without resorting to adding users to the "Domain Admin" group. I've explored GP at OU level as well at the Domain level but can't seem to find anything of use. Anyone have any ideas?

Use regedt32 and look up for hkey\localmachine\software\corel and apply full control permissions on that key and subsequent key.

also usefull is the programs regmon and filemon to check what happens during a installation.
You can create a snapshot of before and after a installation and check out the changes.

a very detailed link that I found is at

This makes a good case for upgrading the product in order not to have these kind of scenarios
