In almost all cases, if an application won't run unless its in "admin" mode, its usually due to it installing into "Program Files", and then attempting to write data to/from that location. Simply installing it to someplace else will tend to fix it. There are more than a few I use that still try to do that, and some of them, while they support adding additional locations for files instead of using the defaults, don't make setting that up exactly trivial. In some respects, it was stupid for them to be placing stuff in their own folders anyway imho, kind of like how 100% of all applications "insist" they need to be in the "main" trunk of the "Start" menu, even if it would be more logically to offer "media", or "games", or some sort of sub-subject as an option. Once people get the program working, more or less, and they are ready to package it, things like "Should be store user files here?", and "Are we an idiot for storing the link to the application in the same menu as all 800 other applications the user installed previously?", just never becomes something worth bothering with, or something.

Have to go in once a year and clean up their mess. lol
