How about a 64-bit installer that doesn't require UAC?


Yes, I could try to change the application manifest myself, but that seems esoteric and I haven't been able to find any GPL tool. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/741726/diagnosing-windows-application-manifests, for example. Same for the solutions noted here http://superuser.com/questions/24631/prevent-elevation-uac-for-an-application-that-doesnt-need-it.
From the application manifest of setup-x86_64.exe:

<trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
  <security>
  <requestedPrivileges>
<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />
  </requestedPrivileges>
  </security>
  </trustInfo>
