I changed the permission of the files present.txt and published.txt for regular user: adding write permission. Then it works.

I read code a little bit: The run method of UpdateModule class need to be called for the two files. I guess this is the reason the regular user need write permssion. This is new feature on rc2 since I couldn't find the two files on rc1.

<jing> now i will install rc1 as admin, then run it as regular user.
<jing> to see what will happen.
<davidwelker> ok
<davidwelker> but I don't think it is necessary
<jing> really?
<davidwelker> yeah
<davidwelker> this was based on the theory that the installer was doing something differently
<davidwelker> but it turns out a different part of the system is
<davidwelker> namely, the PatchChecker
<davidwelker> which wasn't working in rc1
<davidwelker> it works in rc2, but writes files in the wrong place
<davidwelker> you know
<davidwelker> I think we will have another problem
<davidwelker> I think the module manager is going to fail
<jing> :(
<davidwelker> because it is going to write modules.txt in the build-area
<davidwelker> we are going to need it to behave differently for these admin installs
<jing> okay. i will test this on rc 3
<davidwelker> yes
<jing> cool
<davidwelker> excellent

Since published.txt and present.txt are now stored and written to the cache, this bug now should be fixed. Closing.
