InstallShield 2009 IDE requires administrative rights for execution
I installed InstallShield 2009 IDE into my Windows 7 system. When I click the InstallShield 2009 shortcut in the main menu the UAC window is displayed immediately and asks me a password of user with administrative privileges. I work under restricted user account. My user account is not an administrative one. Anybody know how to run IDE without administrative privileges?
I tried to search my problem on this forum but I didn't find anything similar.

We don't currently support launching the IDE without administrative privileges. It might be possible to run it that way by hacking the manifest, but I wouldn't suggest this. Perhaps see if you can run InstallShield in a virtual machine where you can have administrative privileges.

Requirement for administrative privileges is very bad. Are there any plans for removing it?
