Hi Hasan,
I am not aware that it does need to be installed as Administrator.
Installers on Windows normally run from a non-privileged user account
and request elevation for any parts of the installation that need extra
rights. How that elevation request presents itself depends on the system
setup, either a UAC prompt to continue or a request to login as a
privileged user is normal.
It appears that the N1MM+ installer needs to register several components
and that will require Administrator rights, if they recommend running
the initial installer as Administrator (by right-clicking it and
selecting "Run as Administrator") then I would do that. As for
installing updates, it is integrated and does not ask for elevated access.
Note that applications that install into the "Program Files (x86)" or
"Program Files" directories will definitely need elevated rights at some
point during installation.
