"Error uncompressing hammerheads.exe" when launched with a limited account.

The program uncompresses itself into its installation folder when launched, and if installed in the default Program Files folder, it will fail to extract itself. Program Files is read-only to limited users.

Workarounds:

As an administrator, grant Modify access to the Hammer Heads Deluxe installation folder, usually:

c:\program files\popcap games\hammer heads deluxe

Example command line:

cacls.exe "%programfiles%\PopCap Games\Hammer Heads Deluxe" /e /g Users:c

Warning: This exposes your game's installation to abuse by limited users.
