Hello,

I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing.
I don't meant setupe.exe but MPsetupeXP.exe.

At the end of many installations you have one ot two chechboxes (like
"view readme.txt" and
launch app now").

when you start the app from here, is starts under the "runas"(admin)
account.

As you retried it's probaly something else.

Have a nice day.
