When a user has restricted rights on his/her computer and runs my Inno Setup installer, Windows pop-up an administrator login prompt.

The problem is that when the administrator types in his/her username and password and logs-in, Inno Setup thinks that he or she is the logged in user and installs my app for that user instead of the original one. (I'm installing files in the {userappdata} dir)

Is there a way to overcome this limitation and install for the original restricted user?
