Remy, if you follow the thread carefully, you will notice that Bob wrote:

Assuming you install executables to the Program Files folder, I

Regarding the "Application Data" folder, I'm not sure if *ALL* users
and guests in an Active Directory domain can write to it, but probably
the members of "Domain Users" can. On the workstation I'm writing
this, only "Domain Users" and advanced users can write to that folder.
