Yes.

  There's no problem installing on Win7, but in Vista/7
there's an enforced permissions system whereby, by
default, a person using the PC is restricted to something
like the rights of a corporate employee. You can't write
to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Your ability to write to files
is severely curtailed. Etc. Software, therefore, has to be
installed with Administrator rights. You do that by using
the right-click menu. To tell Windows that your installer
needs Admin. rights, so that people don't have to right-
click it, you can use a manifest or use the word "setup"
in the name of your installation EXE. (The former approach
is considered to be the "official" method, but the latter is
easier and works fine. Vista/7 look for that string when
launching an EXE.)

Uh, I don't think so.

"Another change is that you should not install your app to the "Program
Files" folder unless it will not write any information in the installed
location"

BAD advice.  Coming from a guy who leaves Stop statements in his release
code and doesn't understand how to fix that error.

Another one of you "I don't have a clue moments" Why don't you prove some
(any) of your claims... I mean besides stupidity...
