You need to install it from the user's account, and then respond to the UAC prompt with the proper credentials. This is the way it is done.
The only exception is that some small number of applications allow you to install for All Users. Some more will work properly when installed from the admin account (Office, QuickBooks). Many don't however and you must install from the user as noted above.
No single one way fits all.

The other thing you can do is try running the software from the Start Menu. It may make the required adjustments at that time and place a working shortcut on the desktop. See if that works.
Does the user have to be an admin to do the install? If so, after the install, can I change them back to a standard user and the application will still work?
