Then you also need to run updates with admin privs or they will fail
on Vista, where you normally run unelevated even on admin accounts.

We had a long internal discussion about it and we decided that
defaulting to a  single user installation that is outside of
%ProgramFiles% gives the best changes of trouble-free installation on
all supported Windows versions. Of course, admin installs are still
possible, they are just not done by default any more.
