Program asking to be run with Admin Rights.

I have a user that has a 8510p laptop,User has only USER rights on machine. I installed a software called SEL compass used to monitor and test relays,once installed i double clicked on the icon and a pop-up came on saying you need Admin rights to use this software.My question: Is there any way of granting rights to that specific software? I gave him rights to c:\program files\all users\desktop and to c:\program files\SEL\SEL compass\ but did not work.

The mentioned behavior is by design of Windows XP, according to this article from Microsoft:

So, you will need a third party application to do it.
go to control panel, user accounts click on your account and change account type to administrator of that pc.

Sorry for not saying that we are trying NOT to give users Admin rights..that is why i am trying to find a work around.
thank you
For example, you can download and use:
