    install a browser say, AM Browser, to one profile only, on a computer with several profiles? (Is there a quick, painless and easy way?)

    Try ....
    When you start, check if install program displays "All users" (remove TICK from option) and (TICK) "Current user ". You will need to be logged onto preferred profile/user AND have admin rights during the install process. If options are not available, you can cancel the install.


    Side Request
    Could you adjust your "subject line" for your first post to include more information.
    Example ... "AM browser - Prefer single user install "

    Thanks

    AM browser - Prefer single user install

    Not possible. I "have seen" a selected few applications where that "tick" is available. Only a selected few applications have this option. Most do not. This one in particular does not. Any other suggestions?

    Also, I cannot change the beginning thread's "subject line "....only my replied subject line. Ask Administrator of Thread.

    When viewing the install setup, what default path location is AM browser choosing for the install. When viewing, you may have to move up the directory tree to see if install is directed at current open profile/user (your preferred user account).
    Understand, this may be misleading. It may create a profile in your user account, but installs program in all users .. depends on how install exe / author decided what occurs during install process.
