If you are an admin of a computer that may be used by multiple users,
then I agree, admin/user separation makes sense in that case.

But in that case you also should have enough background knowledge to
work around the problems that you're presented with when installing
POV-Ray in such a setting.


That doesn't mean that the POV-Ray installer is perfect. But it means
that I think you should be less vocal in your complaining about it.
