I install a program under administrator's login. It creat a icon on the
desktop. By clicking on it, it works fine.
However, when I login to computer with limited user login, I can see this
icon. When I try to run this application by click on the icon, I can see the
system is struggling to try to do something. But the application cannot be
started.

Hi,
You need to install it under that user account, as it needs to have certain
registry entries created. To do so, right-click the setup icon, use "run as"
and enter the admin name and password. More on running and installing
software in WinXP:
