My Leopard OS does not run "Software Update"

[YS2003]

I have two accounts set up on one of my Macs: Administrator and normal user.

I can run Software Update under my normal user account; but, when I log in my administrator account, it does not run Software Update. It just hangs with that small pop up window "Checking for new software..." I can run software update for MS Office and other software, though.

Can you suggest any tip on fixing this?

Try deleting <user>/Library/Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate
Run a repair permissions and then restart

I could not find "com.apple.SoftwareUpdate" in that folder in my administrator account. I can still run Software Update with my normal user account by authenticating with my administrator password. But, I prefer updating software while I am logged in the administrator account.

I found the solution for this problem. Now, I can run Software Update without any issue.
