Open WPF application on the installled machine without Admin rights

Hi I have created a WPF application and created a .exe file from InstallSheild 2013 Limited edition.
There is no issues with installing the application, but I get a Admin rights Popup whenever I try to open the application on my machine.
Can i avoid this? Anybody without admin rights also should be able to open the application on his machine.
I'm installing the app in C:\Program Files (x86)\AppName.. to this location.

Plz Advice..

Hi pranshetty,

Program Files is a per machine location. You will need admin rights to install there.
If you do not want the elevation prompt, you will have to install to a per user location.
