| Yes, and when apps do request many permissios, I just estimate how reputable the company is. A name like Adobe must be ok, right? |

| Software wants to be installed in C:\Program Files so that other software can’t modify their installation without admin permissions. Of course to do that your installer needs to be run as administrator which makes the whole thing rather silly. |

At least the system prevented me from seeing or modifying the files the last time I tried. I did not try very hard, admittedly, but by contrast modifying something in C:\Program Files is just one UAC confirmation away. |
