Agreed, but you can't "fix" everything.  Attempting to modify files in
the installed program location is likely to break on a highly locked
down Windows installation (i.e. Vista) as well as you mention.

What you list are definately the best practices, but how many times
have you had developers push back on best practices because the
counsel is coming from an installation developer?  Its sad, its
pathetic, but its also very common.
