I am concern about the location of the installation because of the
virtualization that Vista and Windows 7 employs.

Thanks for explaining that.
However: having, temporarily, installed RunRev on a machine running Vista;
built a standalone
(on the desktop) and having run the standalone directly from where it was
built, I can say that
everything worked in an extremely unproblematic fashion.

Err . . . Yes; but I (probably naively) assumed that if you are
marketing software
the Admin person would be the one who was installing it and setting the
user privileges
to it.
Certainly, when I ran a Mac lab at St Andrews we had "merry hell" with
Chinese and Japanese
students downloading Chinese and Japanese input-capable chat clients
(the Macs were for
academic purposes) until we locked-down software install to the admin;
although, later
(after one particularly intelligent student got hold of a Mac boot disk)
we went for doing a
boot from a cloned disk image.
I seem to remember a similar situation at SIU Carbondale; the chap who
was in charge of
all the computers there, Dallas Service
[ http://www.lib.siu.edu/departments/iss/contactpanel what a great guy]
had a bet with me that I couldn't get through the 'At Ease' set up on
the Library Macs;
it took a floppy and a brain about 3 minutes. Mind you, he was happy it
was me rather
than the "get into a system and trash it" brigade.
Were I to be in a similar situation again I would be thoroughly
dictatorial with regard to a
software policy (especially with such virus-prones systems as Microsoft
trots out). Luckily
my school features PCs running Linux with disconnected CD drives and
backward-facing
USB ports so that even the craftier Primary school children cannot
install 'Battle for Wesnoth'
should they even know how to.
