you may experience permissions trouble with any extracted file.

This plug-in attempts to work around the UAC problems on Vista related to staring a new process from an elevated installer.
It all started in http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=265780 and is still very much in the alpha stage (Use at your own risk).

Windows 98 is untested, but it should work. :)
Note: When a standard or limited user supplies administrator information into the Run As dialog, you may experience permissions trouble with any extracted file. For example, if a Windows 2000 standard user supplies administrator info into the Run As dialog, and the NSIS installer extracts an .exe file, then trying to call that .exe through an Exec can fail. If this is a problem, you will want to use the AccessControl plug-in.
