Error While loading Sibeleus – Installation Folder is not writable.

After installing sibelius 5 we were getting the following error when loading it as a normal user.

—————————
Native Instruments
—————————
Installation folder is not writable. Please select a folder now

After clicking on Ok we would see the window below then get the error if the user were to cancel out of the browse for folder. This would happen for every user thereafter also.

To fix this permanently without giving the users admin permission, login as an administrator and navigate to the C:\program files folder and select the folders “Native Instruments”, “Neuratron Photoscore” & “Sibelius Software” by Ctrl+Left Clicking them.
