Installation help needed
I'm a network admin in a school district and I'm testing Scratch for use in our schools. The program works for me, but students receive an "access denied - contact your local admin" message. I have given users modify rights on the Program Files folder, changed the home folder to their network drive, plus given them full control on the registry key. Are there any other suggestions on getting this to work for a user with limited rights?
Thanks

It works just fine on my limited account at school
Ask your kids if they have pendrives because you can install scratch on there and run it from the F: drive (or whatever the usb port is at your school)
Paradox is gone.

Re: Installation help needed
It has to be installed on the local machine, so the pen drive is not an option. I read the readme.txt file and modified the home drive, in case that was the issue. Our students have a network drive and basically can't see the c drive, so I'm wondering if Scratch needs access to another folder on the c drive. The program works for staff but not for students.
I solved my own problem - the "start in" folder for the shortcut needed to be changed from my folder to All Users.

Well there you go. Problem solved.
