This is another Vista feature.  UAC special-cases programs by name. 
Yes, it's that dumb.  It thinks programs named like 'install' or 'setup'
or 'update' are special because they are likely to be the name of an exe
that you might run to install a new program, and these generally need to
be run with elevated privileges since they tend to want to write into
the Program Files or the system hive, which are typically off limits to
the restricted/regular user.

Anyway, to make a long story short you need to create some manifests
that tell Vista that it doesn't need to elevate for these binaries, but
to run as the invoker.  In Cygwin we have had to do this for
/bin/install-info, /bin/install, and /bin/patch.  You can read about it
in this thread:
