Comment:
As noted in #12617:
> If the Tor Windows installer is run by a user besides Administrator, the
> user will not prompted to run the installer as Administrator, dead
> shortcuts will be created in the Start Menu and Desktop, and Tor will
> not be installed in Program Files. If the user right-clicks the
installer
> to run it as Administrator, everything will be created as it should.
>
> This is confusing behavior for many users.
