Running V7 Developer on XP for more than one user

[ajfish]

Team,
We have had Developer installed onto an XP machine and all runs well, taking in an old version 4 site, no problems. However, I want to be able to run developer using a separate login (on the same XP machine). I look to start Actinic Developer from a different login to the one which loaded the product and it doesn't exist on the desktop or under Start - Programs - Actinic V7. If I try and kick of the catalog.exe using this login then I get an error which says...
Error locating the "original" directory.

Any ideas?

Right click the shortcut
Select properties
select Shortcut tab
click on Advanced
check the "Run with different Credentials" box

that should do it . . .

Nope, still the same problem when running as either myself or an admin user.. Do I really have to reload for each user?? Surely not.
Any other suggestions? Is it a case of importing all the registry information from the user that does work?? I have not come across any other product which behaves like this. What gives?

Importing the Catalog7 registry key worked

I have imported the Catalog7 registry key for the user which gave the error and now it seems to work. Why is this? I mean, not why does it work now, but why is it necessary to have to do this?

Actinic installes in the 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER' section of the registry, which means that it is only accesible via a single XP profile.

In 7.0.2 (due shortly) we are switching to using HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE so you can run Actinic from different profiles.
