Running programs for non-previleged users on XP

Scenario
===========
(1) You write a program using some programming language, say, C#.
(2) You make an assembly out of the program by compiling it. It is a
single module assembly.
(3) You create a setup program for this.
(4) During the setup, the user, an administrator group user, selects
the option, "Install this program for all the people who use this
computer, and not just for me."
(5) The administrator group user finishes installing the program. Then
he goes on to use it. He is able to use it.
(6) The administrator group user logs off.
(7) Another user, let's call him by the name John, who's only a
"regular user" who does not belong to the administrator group (not even
a Power User), logs in and wants to use the program. He double-clicks
on the program exe icon on the desktop. It doesn't work for him.
Questions:
============
(1) Is is even possible or a reasonable demand that the user who does
not have administrative previliges be able to use the program. It must
be noted that the intention is so, since the administrator who
installed the program supplied the choice "Install for everyone" while
installing it.
(2) If it is possible and a reasonable demand, how can it be
accomplished?
* I present an oversimplified version of the problem only to focus on
the bare essentials of the problem.
