Program Requires Administrator Rights

I have a computer running Windows XP Home where I have an administrator
account. I set up a Limited Account for my daughter. I just installed Math
Advantage 2006 from Encore Software, and it will only allow the user with
Administrator rights to run the program. When you try to start it under a
limited account, it tries to copy a file to the Windows directory and of
course can't because it is a limited account. I checked Encore's website,
and they state
"Problem XP Administrator Rights

Solution

This game or program is supported and intended to be used only when logging
in using root administrator. Please make sure that your login has
Administrator rights or try using the root Administrator login and try the
game again.

If you have multiple users on your Windows XP computer and want unrestricted
access to the program, please refer to your Windows XP manual, or contact
Microsoft Support for assistance in configuring your system."

Any ideas on how I can get this to run under a Limited UserAccount?
