If you were Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options
and exe install file to attempt actually answering you.
However, I must ask - why do you believe that the limited (normal) user
account has not write access on c: ?? If this were fully true then the
account probably would be unable to log in. Are you saying that the
account is disallowed all write access to their profile ???
Installation can be set to be "for all accounts", "for the current user",
or to allow selection between the two. The first normally requires that
an admin be used for the installation. The second can be done by the
user for whom the application is to be available, and requires that the
application only make use of capabilities allowed to the user (ex. does
not try to define new accounts, change network config, etc. but instead
just does normal user things).
Perhaps you are overlooking some of what the account you used is able
to write, and the install was of the second type.
