Hey there @seventhaxis
So because of the sandboxing sadly, Aerial needs (well, this is complicated but let's assume for that to be correct) to be installed for each users and have its own cache for each user, which is not great. That's part of the limitations of sandboxing introduced in Catalina.
So that's why you need to install twice. As to that error, that's pretty weird, I'm not sure if it's the parental controls that blocks network for companion or something ?
I would suggest instead installing manually if you don't mind, please download this : https://github.com/JohnCoates/Aerial/releases/download/v2.2.4/Aerial.saver.zip
Then open the zip, double click, install for your user only (if you install for everyone it makes a mess). Then you should be good.
I never tried a parental control account but I can give that a look next week if needed.

I have installed Aerial as the root/admin user for this machine. When I login to my child's account, the screensaver is not listed as an option. When attempting to install by running the
Aerial Companion.app
, it shows in the menu bar and notes that the plugin is not installed. After clicking the button to "Install" the plugin, this error screen appears:I didn't see anything else related to multiple users. This is a personal/household device with no MDM except for Apple's own parental controls enabled.
