[Lazarus] Is this a new microsoft approach?

I can't tell. When I have installed Lazarus on Vista, I was asked for
"Allow, reject" by the UAC.
My app writes some configuration files in the same directory
(c:\program files....etc.). No permissions problems for my app, or for
Lazarus. I have installed my app manually.

Perhaps my permission settings are wrong ;-) .
