First thing to do, before worrying about your other network users, is to
make sure it runs properly as a limited user on that workstation.

Download Process Monitor from Sysinternals (now Microsoft). Log in as a
user. Launch Process Monitor using RunAs to run it as an administrator. This
should help you isolate the areas of the file system & registry where the
application expects to find access & is getting denied.

You should also holler at UPS support because this is just sloppy code, and
they ought to have simple list of instructions for you to use as a
workaround (and they should fix their stuff, in the long term).

PS: Don't use "everyone" and don't use individual user accounts when
assigning
permissions. Use the local Users group for this purpose - Domain Users is a
member of that group by default.
