It very much depends on the software, but most newer software will install
for "All Users" rather than the installing account. If this is the issue,
then you can do the install from the admin account, then move the
shortcuts from the All Users menu structure to the Administrator one,
usually under "C:\documents and settings\administrator\start
menu\programs" etc.
