Definitely an Admin user, and the only user.
What I ended up doing was dragging the Datacolor folder to the trash which took the Spyder3Pro 4.0.6 folder with it. I reinstalled SpyderPrint 4.2.3 and it installed fine, and it recreated the Datacolor folder in Applications. Then, I reinstalled Spyder3Pro 4.0.6 and it installed fine as well, into the Datacolor folder.
So, maybe it was something conflicting with the old version of Spyder3Print that I had in the old Datacolor folder. Anyway, haven't launched the programs yet, but I've got my license number in case they ask for them. I assume both programs will put any new icc profiles where Apple OS can find them.
This Lion OS is weird, they now hide your user Library from you, so it's harder to find where some of these things are going. However if you go to the top menu bar under Finder, and click on Go while holding down the Option key, the user LIbrary icon will appear as a choice.
Is user/Library/Colorsync/Profiles the correct location for where Datacolor will be sending printer and monitor profiles?

You have to run the installer while logged in from an "admin" account.
Go into System Preferences:Users and Groups and make sure about
this.
That's the first thing to check; if this isn't the problem, the issue is
going to be: the Datacolor folder in your Applications folder won't have
write permissions, probably because of something having to do with
permissions when you upgraded; and there are (somewhat annoying)
ways you can fix that.
