@wrx7m check for an applicationname.exe.manifest file in the same directory as the exe. If it's there, rename it and the application might not request admin permissions and enable the virtual store.
Note, the virtual store for a user doesn't seem to ever update. So if you do a program update, any file that gets updated that had to be transferred to the virtual store will not get updated for that user.
There are manifest files, but for vc90, so visual studio runtimes. The UAC virtualization shows Not allowed for the process and sub processes.
Hmm, if they explicitly disabled it it should show disabled. Maybe it's 64bit?

Can you post the result of these two reg queries:
REG QUERY HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\ /v ConsentPromptBehaviorAdminREG QUERY HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\ /v ConsentPromptBehaviorUser
