I believe installing to the Program Files folder requires administrator permissions? Can we install in the \AppData folder instead? The objective is to create an application which will install for users who are not members of the administrators group on the local

I am using Windows Vista and I find something strange, I programatically invoke IE to open IE to access some local html page, the current user belongs to administrator group; I programatically invoke IE with RunAs parameter, and let IE to access access some local html page, the current user belongs to administrator group; I find (1) and (2) sometimes have different results (page content), especially when there is ActiveX or Silverlight plug-in in the local page.
