[Bug]: Attempting to install to a directory that requires Administrator Permissions permits the install, but the driver won't load

Describe the bug

Installing to C:\Program Files doesn't allow the driver to load after installation (might be permissions related?)

Steps to reproduce

When installing, you can choose a directory for install (ex: C:\Program Files\VirtualDisplayDriver).

Doing so will permit the installation, but after installation, nothing will happen with the computer. The companion app will run, but say "No driver configured", and things don't work.

After searching and watching some videos (thanks for the installation guide), I observed that if I installed to a different location, then a signing dialog pops up and I had to approve that, and then the driver works as expected.

Expected behavior

I suspect that the issue is that I specified a directory that required Administrator permission, so it didn't permit the driver to start as a result. At minimum it would be good for the installer to check if permissions are available before installing, or maybe there's a way to make it work if you do install to C:\Program Files.
