You can use the application compatibility toolkit to determine the actual file system, registry and OS privileges needed for the application to run, then make a custom database that allows you to configure the permissions on the machines on which the application runs. It doesn't make a "fake" admin account, but it does something better- it lets you figure out what you *truly* need to do to let the application run in the context (hopefully) of a user.
Might be worth looking at.
