MacOSX AIR Permissions for non-administrator user folders

Question

We're making final changes to our installer for PowerPC Macs, which cannot get the fixes in Adobe AIR 2.7.
What are the ownership AND permissions expected to be for normal Adobe AIR operation in the following user folders?

~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AIR
~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/www.macromedia.com/
/Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Adobe

We would like to know if it is advisable to apply the permissions fixes to user folders other than those under the administrator user. Neither the AIR Install Repair.zip posted on the forums nor the MacOSX Adobe AIR 2.7 Installer logs show that any user folders other than those under the administrator user are modified.

Thanks for your advice.

Hi,I don't believe you'll need to make adjustments to these folders. Here's what mine are set to:/Users/chris/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AIR755 / owner:chris group:chris/Users/chris/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/www.macromedia.com755 / owner:chris group:chris/Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Adobe755 / owner:chris group:wheelFwiw, the reason we had to fix up permissions was due to beta versions of past Creative Suite installers (the shipping installers were corrected.) As far as I know, the only folders effected were the ones we corrected in the installer and I addressed in the script.Thanks,Chris
