Okay. You talk about our installer right?

I have non-admin user. I go to the http://www.valentina-db.com and  click here on Revolution for windows v.3.5.1
http://www.valentina-db.com/download/v4rev_3_win.exe

IE ask me what I want to do with this file:
"Do you want to run this file?"
And I click to "Run" button.

After it was download Vista ask me if I'm sure to run it, I'm press "Yes". Next it require admin password, I'm enter it too. 
Later I have normal run of our installation. 
After it successfully ended I'm go to the "Program Files/Paradigma/VComponents_Win_VC". 

No "hidden" folders or files here. 
I'm also restart PC. 
Again all folders and files present. 

Please try it again. Can you reproduce it?
