You do not have to run it as administrator (it is possible that on first install you do need to run it as such), and if you do you may have problems later if you do not start always as administrator.

You must install it under a location where you have write access. Since TheIDE reads and writes from it's installation folder, location like "C:\" and "C:\Program files" can not be used.

Currently, single install for all non-administrator users can be done only in folders where you have sufficient access or if you use ACL to get the correct access rights.

And always running as an administrator is not a solution and defeats the purpose of this security system. It is like running everything with sudo under Linux. And the problem appears under XP too when ran as a normal user.

IMO TheIDE should install without any problem in Program Files and use AppData\Local dir to store configuration and eventually sources for each user. That's what other programs do.
