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.
