You could either put the ini file under "all users" documents (aka 
"public"), or you could copy it from ProgramFiles into Documents the first 
time it was run by a given user, or (I don't know Vista's quirks, but maybe 
worth a try) have the installer override the security ACL on the files in 
ProgramFile it wants to write to, or store the ini files in \ProgramData.

That said, I suspect the problem is more that the people working on it 
simply haven't taken the time to fix the incompatibilities and build a new 
installer, more than it is they don't know what needs to be done. :-) But it 
would seem that trying a new ACL would be an easy thing to test, at least.
