Starting with Vista, you can ONLY install to program files as an 
administrator.
When you do a normal install, you are NOT treated as an administrator 
and don't have administrator privileges.
This means that it's IMPOSSIBLE to install into the program files 
folder. In fact, it's impossible to write, change or delete any file 
situated in that folder unless you have escalated your privileges to 
administrator.

It's an OS limitation.
