Clarification
Thanks, DGPickett for your response. It would appear that I didn't properly explain what was wrong, though. i'll explain specifically what's wrong below:

*application for music (school play is coming up - guys and dolls) installs and runs with no problem for the user that installed it.
*local administrator (me) installs it in midi lab, and when any OTHER user tries to launch app, it fails.
*after speaking to their tech support, it turns out that it fails because, on install, the installer creates a directory called RMS in Application Support in the user's LOCAL profile, instead of in a universally accessible place. the support people tell me that to make it work, the RMS directory needs to be in EACH user's local home (~/Library/Application Support/RMS).
*my conclusion, after testing several different solutions, is that the ideal way to solve this problem (aside from scrapping the software entirely) is to copy the master RMS folder to each user's local profile on login, if it isn't there already.

Does that make more sense?
