As with all permission-related issues, I would download FileMon
and RegMon from http://www.sysinternals.com/. Run them as
administrator (when no user is connected), start a TS session as a
normal user and try to run the application.
FileMon and RegMon will show you all "access denied" errors that
occur, so that you can give your users the necessary permissions
on a file-to file or Registry subkey basis.
