Comment (by VZ):

 Currently the installer refuses to even start up under Windows 7 without
 administrator credentials. This is annoying and makes the "Just unpack the
 files" installer option meaningless (as you need administrator rights to
 get to it in the first place).

 It would be nice if either a simple .zip file could be provided (which, I
 think, would be enough especially if #129 is fixed) or the installer could
 only ask for administrator permissions when/if it really needs them.
