1. Is your program attempting to open the PNG files with read/write access, or read-only access? If the former, that's your problem. Use read-only access.
Are you saying the the files themselves should be set to read only? Right now (checking on Mac) they are set to R/W at the admin level and "no access" at the Group and Others level. That doesn't look good. :-) Looking on XP, the Read Only checkbox is not checked, so I guess I should change that, correct?
2. As Chris Little suggested, have one of the users experiencing the problem check the permissions on "C:\Program Files" and on your subdirectory to make sure that 1) they are the same and 2) the group "Users" has "Read", "List Folder Contents" and "Read & Execute" permissions on both. The first is absolutely necessary, the second and third might be, depending on exactly what your program is doing.
All the directories are installed as read only which is what is what "Program Files" are set to. Wait! I thought that seemed odd, so I double checked: all directories have the Read-Only checkbox filled with a solid color, not a check mark. What does that mean?
My guess is that it means some things are read only some are not. (like the dash in a Mac OS check box?)
3. The user accounts that are experiencing the problem should be members of the group "Users".
