Hi Richard,
Only admins can install applications that are available to all users.
If a user is not an admin, you will have to write to the user's
application support/data folder, which means that only the current
user can use the application. Operating systems are designed this way
to prevent limited users from messing up the entire system.
Stephen, the shared folder on the Mac is for sharing files with other
users, not for storing data used by applications.
Best,
Mark

I have an app which will be for Mac and Win, and maybe Linux down
the road, in which I need to store some data in a folder which
needs to be writable by all users.
Both Mac and Win provide common folders for reading data:
Mac /HD/System Folder/Application Support
Win C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data
...but in my testing here only users with admin privileges can
write to those folders. :(
What is the OS-recommended place to store common data which can be
written by any user?
