Cannot install newest versions with Run As administrator

[wroot]

Starting with 3.5.0 i'm not able to install newest Paint.NET version (on top of the older one) in limited user environment without logging in as administrator anymore. Usually i was able to launch installer with Run As administrator. Now installer launches and then nothing happens, no errors, no windows. As i always work with limited user it creates inconvenience to have to log off, login as admin, install and then login back as a user. Windows XP SP3.

I've tried to capture installer process with Process Monitor (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysi ... 96645.aspx). It seems that process stops at GRE initialization and then thread and process just exit. I would attach the log here, but it is too big (950 KB zip).

Just paste the log into a set of

 tags.

This was identified by someone else about a month ago.

Long story short, I'm not planning to fix this.
