    Never ever try to install a game, or related programs, to a limited account.

    Games require full admin priveleges, especially ones with SafeDisc protection.

    Trying to do otherwise causes Registry corruption that is a pain to fix.

    if you know the admin account and password, you can right click on the installation exe and choose RUNAS.. then plug in the admin credentials and the install will begin with admin privies. When the install is done, the process is terminated and the admin privies released.
