On further investigation, it turns out that this is just one of the
criteria by which the kernel detects a supposed installer; helpfully,
Microsoft has not released the whole algorithm. So it should probably
be done to every program unless a switch is used to suppress it (in
case you know what you are doing and want your programs to run with
elevated privilege).
