Setup should work for admins in the first place, without having to
remember explicit elevating every time. To fix this for the 64 bit
version, the best solution is not just to remove the "require admin"
manifest. Instead, there's a patch in the loop which allows setup to
elevate itself. It's just not ready for prime time yet.
