I *think* this bug was fixed at least in 2 reports, 1 of which concerned linux only (more recent report). In the general report I linked to in the post SparkOut was kind enough to find for me, here is the language going on at the time it was considered *fixed* (somewhere between 6.7 and 7.x) -
Aside from that, there is some discussion as to whether or not installing for everyone invoked the launch option. I never have tried it myself, but I would assume there is no launch option if installed for Everyone, anyone know for sure?LiveCode QCC 2014-10-20 12:00:48 EDT

use-livecode mailing list traffic suggests that this *has* been fixed in 7.0.x, but not in 6.7.x.
See <http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-l ... 16063.html> and subsequent list traffic.

Hi Peter,
thank you for reopening this report.
I tested the installation of LiveCode 6.7.6 GM 1 and 7.0.6 GM 1 on Xubuntu and can confirm what you have seen on the lists. 6.7.6 GM 1 does not launch but 7.0.6 GM 1 does.
Kind Regards,
Hanson
I'd agree there are far more significant bugs that also seem to go on and on, but this one seems like such a "give me", it is hard to understand it's endurance for so long.
Frankly, I think it is just a naming/path issue, but I am not positive. I am pretty sure the installer is not 'open source' either. The report is marked 'Fixed', so I don't know if my added comment will trigger it "re-opening" or not either.
