Simple question, does anyone remember/know if the default install for
Framemaker 9.0 is single user or if there is even an option to install
as single or multiuser?

Scott,
I think he is being unreasonable, especially to suggest that you "
get with Adobe and have them fix this or get answers to his
problem". He is just going to have to learn that he can't always
have everything his own way.
There is no point in comparing FrameMaker with Photoshop and
InDesign installations, permissions, etc. They are entirely
different applications and have different histories and, I am sure,
architectures. Just because they are developed by the same company,
Adobe, does not mean they are therefore exactly the same in all
respects.
Of the suggestions I read earlier, uninstalling and reinstalling
with the "available for all users" option selected is the best
course of action. Either that or fiddling with the folder and file
permissions until it is all working but that may also break other
things or open the system as vulnerabilities.
If he does not want to allow the user to have access to the
application then he must accept that he is refusing to let this
person do their work and will probably need to explain why his
attitude is worth more than their productivity to the company.
The suggestions to date are normal in the course of events.

Ok I just got off the phone with this guy. He doesn't like my
suggestions, Art's suggestion or anyone else's.
He wants to control what gets installed and downloaded on a machine
so he wants to do all installs and downloads as administrator
rights. He doesn't want to give this person administrator rights to
run the software in fear this person will download other things.
He installed photoshop and InDesign under these rules and they will
open up for the user rights. It's just Frame that won't. He wants
me to get with Adobe and have them fix this or get answers to his
problem.
He just sent me a log dissertation on why windows administrators
must do what they are doing -- make everything tighter than bark on
a tree.
Any other help appreciated.

He's not locked in. If he activated, he can de-activate before
uninstalling, and he's good to move the software anywhere --

back on to the same machine.
Another easier way to go may be to give the user Admin privileges,
so
she can execute FM.

IF that is the case, can it be uninstalled and reinstalled for
multiusers or
is he locked in?

That was exactly what I was thinking -- installed "For Just This
User"
instead of "All Users."
But I suspect you might also be able to fix it if the Admin
account
twiddles the directory permissions (recursively) to allow
Everyone to
execute the Frame directories.

Is it possible that when your client installed Frame he chose
