Yes, I could try to change the application manifest myself, but that 
seems esoteric and I haven't been able to find any GPL tool. See 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/741726/diagnosing-windows-application-manifests, 
for example. Same for the solutions noted here 
http://superuser.com/questions/24631/prevent-elevation-uac-for-an-application-that-doesnt-need-it.
 From the application manifest of setup-x86_64.exe:

<trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
   <security>
   <requestedPrivileges>
   <requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" 
uiAccess="false" />
   </requestedPrivileges>
   </security>
   </trustInfo>
