I expect that > the majority of users won't have the idea to use the right mouse button etc. > > Markus IMHO "right click and ''run as administrator''" for installing a software in WinVista/Win7 is the "normal" way to install software on the Windows- box (i have to do this on all WinVista/Win7-out-of-the-box-machines, that i know, and for all kind of softwares (opensource and proprietary) and often noted in README-files etc. for the software). OTOH there would be an option for the NSIS-installer to request the user if he really wants to install in "c:\Program Files\", but AFAIK there's no option to install a software in WinVista/Win7 in a "protected" folder like "c:\Program Files\" without a user interaction, as long as you tweak your Windows-installation.
