In a decade of Sys Admin, I've never seen a program that needed an administrator account to function.

It wrote to the registry, requiring admin access.

It wrote to the registry, requiring admin access.

During install I'm sure it did....as will any other program. If it won't simply run without administrator access, or worse yet, writes to the registry as a matter of normal operation then I'd chunk it.
