This occurs when the program tries to write to or alter a protected system
folder, such as those under \Windows or \Program Files. In Vista, a program
should be running virtually from the user appdata, but this does not occur
with older non-compliant software. In order to use it, you must acknowledge
allowing it access to the protected folders. This somewhat annoying process
has two functions, one being to make the user aware that a program wants
access to protected areas, and secondly to force software writers out of the
very bad habit of running programs from system folders (something that a)
invites corruption of system files and b) makes it easy for malware to get
ingrained into the system).
There is a process described here to work around this issue, it’s not
something native to Vista:
