I've found more often than not, you can just runas the install executable. Whatever processes it spawns will also be run under the escelated privledges.
While yes, the program will install, it seems that sometimes (not everytime, I assume it's installer dependent) the shortcuts for the program for my user will not be put in the Start Menu. Rather than go through the hastle of copying all the shortcuts to my Start Menu, I just log in as Admin to install.
