New description:
The installer does not trigger a UAC elevation prompt. Without right-
clicking and running as Administrator,
the program appears to install correctly (even creating a program group)
and will not start. This is due to
File and Registry Virtualization- thus I imagine the same thing happens on
Vista. The files land in the user's
profile instead of the selected subdirectory of Program Files, and the
shortcuts in the Start Menu point to the
proper place (in Program Files).
