App is getting damaged when I replace it as non-administrative user

Hey people,
When I want to update e.g. VLC Player, as an administrator, it is simple: I just download the dmg, mount it and drop the new version of the VLC.app into the Applications folder to replace the old VLC.app. Few days ago I created a new admin account and changed my old account  to normal user. If I want to install new software that I did not use before, everything works as expected: when I drop an .app package into the Applications folder, I need to type in the admin login and password to allow this operation, then the package will be copied and I can start the new app.
My problem:
If I want to update the software by replacing the app as non-administrative user, the system first will promt me to keep both files, replace an older one or to stop - so far so good. BUT, when I select to replace, the copying process actually begins before the administrator prompt and it results in corrupted file. I also tried to create a new user account. So then I need first to remove the broken app (admin prompt once again) and then to install the new one (3rd admin prompt).
I attached some screenshots to visualize the issue. I have the same issue on two different macs with different  user/admin names. I hope you have any idea how can it be fixed.
1. I download the package:
2. Mount the package:
3. Drag the VLC app to the Applications folder (selecting >Authenticate in the prompt)
4. Copy prompt (>Replace):
5. Authenticate with administrative user
6. Error message:
7. Corrupted file:

Thanks, you helped me. I had gotten hung up on '--user = <vboxuser>' in the ExecStart line, which works for one of my other services, but not this one.

    All apps include DRM protection that is tied to the Apple ID that was used to download the apps.
    This means the apps that need an update were downloaded with the Apple ID you are being prompted for.

  • Error message on startup  when non Administrator user

    I have installed Premiere Pro CS4 on MAC OS X and run it successfully whilst logged in as Administrator. However when I log in with a standard user account, I get the following message when starting the application:
    "The application Premiere Pro quit unexpectedly. Mac OS X and other applications are not affected. Click relaunch to launch the application again. Click report to see more details or send a report to Apple."
    I'm assuming this may be a permissions problem, but haven't a clue where to look first. If anyone can throw some light on this matter, it would be very much appreciated.
    Tried giving 'everyone' full access to the Premiere folder but that didn't work.
    Kind Regards

  • This note appears when Firefox is launched from a non administrator user. How do I get rid of it? "The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again."

    This occurs upon initial boot up and no other users are on. No other firefox is running. The current version will then open without issue. Just want to warning removed

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Systemd vboxweb.service mod when needing to start as non-root user

    Hi,
    Don't know if this will help anyone, but here goes,
    I wanted the systemd service unit to run using my local account but to get this to work, I had to do the following:
    1. Create a file called vboxweb_mod.conf in /etc/tmpfiles.d with the below inside it (replace <user> <group> with your username and group you want vboxweb started with.)
    D /run/vboxweb 0755 <user> <group>
    2. Create /etc/systemd/system/vboxweb_mod.service to look like this: (replace <user> <group> with your username and group you want vboxweb started with.)
    [Unit]
    Description=VirtualBox Web Service
    After=network.target
    [Service]
    Type=forking
    PIDFile=/run/vboxweb/vboxweb.pid
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/vboxwebsrv --pidfile /run/vboxweb/vboxweb.pid --background
    User=<user>
    Group=<group>
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target
    3. Issue command
    #systemctl enable vboxweb_mod.service
    4. Either reboot or issue command
    #systemctl start vboxweb_mod.service
    Hope this helps someone out. (I had to do something similar to get sabnzbd running correctly as a systemd service. :-))

    Thanks, you helped me. I had gotten hung up on '--user = <vboxuser>' in the ExecStart line, which works for one of my other services, but not this one.

  • Why Indesign always crash when started up by a non-admin user

    I have a really strange problem with the installation of Indesign CD6.
    Normally on out network here we install any software as the admin user and we put a shortcut in the individual users their shortcut folder. And it always works perfectly.
    But now one of our users has a problem with that. I installed CS6 in four different ways:
    logged in as a network administrator
    logged in as a local administrator
    logged in as the user but executing the install file as a network administrator
    logged in as the user but executing the install file as a local administrator
    The first two ways never work and the last two ways let the user start up CS6 one time. After restarting the PC of logging off CS6 can't be started anymore.
    I've also set the security on the Adobe Program Files-folder wide open for as well our "Domain Users" as "Everyone". But no use.
    Below a screenshot of the error message I get.
    One small note: When I close the error message and try to shut down or log off I also get a message that OS_PopupWindow can't be closed and I have to force the closing of whatever that is.
    Anyone any idea about how I can fix this?

    I'm not surprised, but we had to rule it out.
    Many users, including me, are unable to run except in an admistrator account. I haven't bothered to chase it down here becasue I normally run as admin anyway, but it's most likely a permissions issue. There are a couple of other threads about this, and one of them has a list of files and registry entries that require write permission on XP, I think, that can provide a giude, but I have not seen a definitive list for anything newer.

  • Xscreensaver fails when non-root user logs in

    Hi,
    My system is running Solaris 10 (10/08) with trusted extensions enabled.
    The problems I am having is when I login as root, the Screen Lock menu item is enabled and I can lock the screen
    However, when I login as a non-root user, the following error message is displayed and the Screen Lock menu item is not available:
    There was an error starting up there screensaver.
    Failed to execute child process "xscreensaver" (No such file or directory)
    Screensaver functionality will not work in this session.
    Instructions from around the web say to include /usr/openwin/bin in the PATH env variable in the .profile (or in my case .bashrc) to fix the problem. However, I've tried that without success.
    I tried running /usr/openwin/bin/xscreensaver-demo. But the demo indicates that the xscreensaver daemon is not running and when I try to start it (via the demo) the daemon fails to start.
    So, anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Paul W.

    DougArthur: Your a champion. Running Sol_10.x86 on a VM virtualbox guest on my laptop a server at home. And well my last place of employment U2 after many login/out operations. I've noticed the exact same issues. I played around with the xscreensaver-demo which only appears to correct the issue "failed to execute child process" No such file or directory. Touched the .xscreensaver
    etc. As you have quickly identified. Adding the system directories to the jds files did the trick. Wonder if this will be implemented into the next releases. I've seen this all the way up to U6 for workstation and or console use. Annoyances this wonderful OS has become. As it seems the little things cracking thru. Well done. Sparc versions same issues. Something needing attention
    for the devo people to change. Small correction. Double "=" in a path statement might cause a buffer run. Change the PATH statement too PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/dt/bin: is syntax I entered 1st crack of fix. Voila she's operating as normal now! Great work.
