I originally had civ installed on a secondary partition (D: ). It was patched up to 1.61 when I installed BTS.
I generally run as a Limited account in Vista for good security hygiene reasons. Civ IV was always perfectly happy with this. When I installed BTS, I used the UAC prompt to escalate to an Admin account, and BTS seemed to install fine. However, *every single time* I try to run BTS, I get UAC prompts for privilege escalation. This happens even when I'm logged in as an Admin primary user.
I have tried uninstalling BTS and reinstalling while logged in as a primary admin and it hasn't helped at all.
Are other people getting this behaviour? It's unacceptable for a brand-new game to require Admin privileges to run, especially since Civ IV without the expansion handled this perfectly fine.
