Problem Description:
In previous ColdFusion installers (8.0.1, 9.0.0, 9.0.2) running as non-admin user on Windows the installer would still allow the user to continue on and create an EAR/WAR deployment of ColdFusion. The ColdFusion 10 installer does not have the same behavior.

In previous installers it was possible to click "Next" through the warning and continue on, the ColdFusion 10 installer is treating the warning as fatal.

Steps to Reproduce:
Run the installer on Windows without Administrator rights

Actual Result:
Only the "Cancel" button is clickable

Expected Result:
Able to click through and create the EAR/WAR

Any Workarounds:
Run with Administrator rights, but not possible on computer currently using

Comments:

Since from CF10. Users can create EAR/WAR only if he/she has admin rights. Without admin privileges, once cannot proceed further. This is intended behavior in CF10 and not a bug (Comment added from ex-user id:vkonatal)
