This means that you need to login as the administrator, then install the
application. It also means that the application is likely installing
things in privileged areas and it is possible, though unlikely that this
can be used to compromise your computer.

So, if anything needs administrator privileges, check with the source of
the application, check online, make sure that this is normal behaviour.

I've CC'd this to WAMUG, because that's where this discussion belongs.
