Hi,

we have the following Problem: Adobe Reader 8 has to be installed on all our Macs, running 10.4.8. Our Users work with local home directories, but without administration privileges to the machine. Adobe reade is installed through an admin account and works fine so far. It's updated to the latest version. But when trying to run it as an user without admin rights, at every (!) start of Reader it asks for an admin user and password.

So what kind of stupidity is it, to create an application that only can be used, when the user has admin right to the machine. Who is that stupid to grant admin rights to all of his employees?

Does anybody has an idea how to fix this problem?

Thomas
