[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-3052) Shared install on Windows doesn't use private folders for updates/workspace

------------------------------------------------------------

Looks like the problem might be the way the default permissions are set up on the folder:

Authenticated Users get full Write permission, while Users are restricted to only Read/Execute:

So perhaps if an administrator correctly sets locked-down permissions on the shared folder (that is, installs to a dir which is NOT open to Authenticated Users getting Write permission) Eclipse may correctly be installed for multi-user confiuration.

> 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:
> !jbds8b2-windows8.1-child-user-private-install-updated-via-central.png!
> !jbds8b2-windows8.1-standard-user-private-install-was-able-to-update-via-central.png!
> ------
> 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
