Do as "Solution 2". Just remember that, not all users has "Administrator Rights" over there computer. If the computer is in a domain and the user only has "User rights", he or she will not be able run the program.

Best option is to:

1. Have you program running with normal rights.
2. If the user has to update something, the program it self or write to "Program Files" folder. Then have a separate program that requires elevated rights.

Other option is to have a folder where "Everyone" can read and write, with out the need for elevated rights.
