Description chip_donovan CLA 2010-10-21 12:13:53 EDT 
Build Identifier: 3.6.1

I have installed Eclipse on a windows xp computer which students use. As the administrator, I have no trouble running the program. When I am logged in as a student client, I do not even see the executable in the program files folder.
If I place a shortcut to the application on all users desktops, the icon sees no link to the program.
I do not have any list of applications not allowed by gpo.

Reproducible: Always

And what if you don't put it in "Program Files"?
Comment 2 Paul Webster CLA 2010-10-25 07:41:59 EDT 
When you install it as the Admin, do you follow the multi-user initialization steps?
