I've found you can avoid giving Admin rights and still run virtually any
application. You may need to allow explicit permissions to specific
directories/files and also certain registry keys. 

Launch the application while running filemon and regmon in the
background and you should be able to get a definitive list where you
will need to grant access.

These utilities are extremely helpful in this scenario and available
free from Sysinternals.
