Why are we making it harder for Windows users in corporate environments by
requiring them to have admin-rights they often won't have, while in Linux
PharoLancher is installed into user folders?

Also there is the UAC Virtualization fiasco that complicates installing
upgrades.

Could we *please* install Windows PharoLauncher into user folders?
What reason is there not to?
