No, that's the default behavior in Windows. If you install to, say, app data it's fine. If you install to program files, you need admin because it is a protected folder.

Why do you immediately jump to the conclusion that the post is about installing "random crap?"

If it's not approved by IT in advance, by definition it is random, and quite possibly crap.

Where did I write that it was not approved in advance...?

The post is about requiring admin to install to Program Files. Even if it is an approved piece of software, you're still going to need admin to install it.
