Storing prefs files has all ways been a pain for me. I find a place that works
on one machine/setup only to find it fails on another. The solution that worked
for me relied on the fact that we had shared network drives. I basically
created a "hidden" folder/directory with read/write permissions
Yes, I see that the /Library requires elevated permission which is way beyond
me.
Terry, it does look like I could write to the temporary folder, but I read that
that folder may get cleared on restart. However, the Users/Shared folder seems
available, so Bob and Richmond seem to be right. This
Any user has write permissions to the users//library folder. No one,
even administrators has write permissions to the /library folder. You would
need to elevate the process somehow. That has come up before, and I am not sure
what came of it. There is a shared folder that all users have write acc
I don't know much about Windows . . . but,
on Macintosh machines and PCs running Linux there is often a folder called
"Shared" or somesuch alongside all the user directories: might this not
be the place to write a pref file that is going to be shared by all users?

How about specialFolderPath("temporary") ?

The challenge is to write a pref file to a non-user directory so the file

I see that error 13 is a permissions issue.
I’m looking at this page "How to enable the root user on your Mac or change
your root password”
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204012
which I haven’t yet figured out…
So, I suppose, lab admins would have to enable root user to install my

The challenge is to write a pref file to a non-user directory so the file is
available to all users in a lab setting.

Hi,
My application is being installed on Windows machines in a school lab. The
admin is having trouble because I’m writing preference files to the
Users\\ folder and when another user logs in, the file is not available.
This may be a problem in the future for Macs as well. These same preference
