So, I've noticed this more as I've gotten deeper into piracy, but why do all the various programs installed through a fitgirl repack require administrator, even if they're installed for the user?
I may be dumb but it just always makes me a bit worried.

Edit: I do not mean the installation process, I'm talking about running the process once installed.

You can right click and remove the requirement to run as admin on the exe. I have done this on a few releases without any issues but it might not work for some other releases
