Mac Installing Applications For All Users

Now, with the Mac mini, I'm giving all four of us user accounts and come across an annoying issue: we all share the same Applications folder. This is probably to save space on the hard drive, but I hate it. Typically applications will install to the user's Applications folder. May 18, 2015 Double click on the hard drive icon. Open the Applications folder that you see along with Library, Users, System, etc. Move the program to the Applications folder. For all to use it needs to be in the root one, then from an Admin account, do a Get Info on it & adjust the Privileges as needed. Any appplications in the folder (shown as 2) are available to all users. If there are applications in other folders, you can simply drag and drop them in to the correct folder. They will then be available to all users. You may also have an Applications folder inside your home folder.

I created an app through applescript and would like all users on a machine to be able to use it. I saved it as a .app file and then drag it into the applications folder. Other users can see the app but it has a line though it and when they try to open it they get a message 'parts of the application are not available'
I go back into the admin account (where the app originated) Then I right click, and give read/write access to all users, reboot. The second user still has a problem opening the app but the error now says 'The app is not available' and still has a diagonal line through it.
I have tried this on multiple Os versions, any Ideas?

On your Mac, click the Finder icon in the Dock, then click Applications in the Finder sidebar. Do one of the following: If an app is in a folder, open the app's folder to check for an Uninstaller. If you see Uninstall App or App Uninstaller, double-click it, then follow the onscreen instructions. If it goes into the main Applications folder, then yes, it's available to all users - though each user will have their own distinct prefs, saved under their account. If it's installed to /Users/your name/Applications, then it's only available to that user.

Occasionally, a user account can become corrupted and prevent the installer from accessing or creating the necessary files and folders. Create a different account, log in to the new account, and then try to install or run the Adobe application.
