 Currently the osgeo4w installer requires admin rights (ticket #133).  The
 UAC elevation is automatic and can not be turned off that I'm aware of.
 Please change this so non-admin users can run the installer (obviously not
 being able to install services or write to protected folders). Perhaps
 change to manual UAC elevation (i.e. right-click->Run as Administrator)?
