I have an application on an external drive. The autorun.exe is in a folder on the external drive. I would like to install the application or run the executable from a user account on the machine the external drive is attached to by usb. The problem I have is admin rights in the user account and permissions when in the user account. Is there a method of installing while in a user account? How do I assume admin rights to the drive I own while in another users account? Or should I use another method to install the application? Thanks in advance.

Is it a Windows program? If so, I'd check the Wine database to see if it's capable of running on Linux. http://appdb.winehq.org/

I have loaded the application on the initial user account. Just can't seem to get permission to load in additional user account.
