my objection is that i often work in situations where installing something (even once) as administrator is not an option. also, there is no reason why the install should require administrator privileges, so it an unnecessary annoyance. i would feel differently if there were a demonstrable security concern that would be solved by requiring administrator privileges. avoiding dll hell is great. i am for it. however, i am pretty sure that there is a way to build a .msi that does not require administrator to install.

installer because of dll hell.
What is the objection to installing once as an admin user, then
running the software under a limited-rights account? (Even in OSX,
installing some software requires administrator password
authentication... and in Windows, refusing to install anything as
admin means not having much software at all :)
