Nick Boldt updated JBDS-3052:
-----------------------------

    Description: 
To test the user experience on Windows, I created three accounts:

* nboldt (my own admin user)
* dummy (a standard user)
* kid (a child user, which is a standard user but with Family Safety logging - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows-8/create-child-account )

Both the child and standard users were able to install JBDS into their own home folders and perform an installation from Central:

------

However, there are problems when using an Admin user-installed shared install folder for JBDS.

Steps to repro:

*As nboldt / admin user* 

* install JBDS 8.0.0.Beta2 (B104) into W:\shared-install\jbdevstudio (using default ownership/permissions)

*As dummy / standard user*

* Log in
* Launch the shared JBDS
* Install something from Central

!jbds8b2-windows8.1-standard-user-shared-install-was-able-to-install-into-shared-install-folder.png!

*PROBLEM*: standard user should not be able to install new features into the shared install folder

*As kid / child user*

* Log in
* Launch the shared JBDS
* Noted that the suggested path for workspace was the one last used by *dummy user*, to which that user doesn't have read permission

!jbds8b2-windows8.1-standard-user-shared-install-last-used-by-dummy-launched-by-kid-error2.png!

*PROBLEM*: should default to current user's home dir, not another user's previous workspace selection
