When trying to install some programs, an error comes up with this message: Run this installer as normal user instead of run as admin.

Perhaps programs should be run as normal by default with an option to run as admin if needed.

I've currently tried looking into solutions like on the wine forum here: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40613 but am not sure how I'd do this on wineskin.

According to the bug report this issue is fixed with Wine 9.5. If there’s no engine yet I think @Gcenx will make one available in the near future. I think that’s the best bet for you to get the installer working.

I would like to voice my support for an engine that includes this fix. I have a program that has a built-in function to detect if it was "run as administrator" and then exits with a dialogue that says "this application does not support 'run as administrator".
