Installations to Program Files (default) inherit restrictive permissions, disallowing regular users from writing to files in the install location. If a user installs to other directories with more lax permissions though, i.e. C:\, the install directory can be writable by non-admins, causing a privilege escalation opportunity. An unprivileged user could modify or replace the qTox binary or a dll, that would then be run by any other user on the system. Clone Program Files permissions rather than trying to craft sane permissions manually for simplicity and compatibility.reviewable/pr6515/r10
