You are absolutely right to mistrust the developers advice.
This is a big deal!
If the application runs correctly under the Administrator account,
but not for normal users, there is nearly always a better solution
than making all users Administrators:

Download FileMon and RegMon from http://www.sysinternals.com/. Run
them as administrator, start a TS session as a normal user and try
to run the application.
 
FileMon and RegMon will show you all "access denied" errors
that occur, so that you can give your users the necessary
permissions on a file-to file or Registry subkey basis.
