I have an application that uses something that auto updates but it

folder and executes it. My solution for Vista - which works very
well - is to put my application in a folder
C:\users\public\applications\myapplication.
This way there is no need for raised privileges.
The only problem with installing in public folder that is it allows
non-privileged (read: any) user to modify the program; which might be
unwanted for some apps.
My programs are exe's and not editable.
Even if it's an .exe, malicious users could overwrite your program with
a malicious executable. In some environment this could be considered a
security issue.
