I'm pretty sure you can't make the program coded to make itself run with administrative privileges. I did find however if the issue is the program wanting to modify files in its directory, make it install itself somewhere other than "Program Files", as Vista seems to think that folder is sacred and the programs in it shouldn't be changing things.

Yes, at least in the case of programs such as HydraIRC that need to modify files in their installation folder, if you install them anywhere other than the "Program Files" folder it will let them do what they want.
