What causes the "This program might not have installed incorrectly" message?

[JohnJSal]

I get this every now and then, but in each case the program has always installed properly. Lately it's been happening with all the downloadable content I've installed for Mass Effect 2, but they always install correctly anyway.

Any special reason this message would come up?

Thanks.

When you install them do you right click and click on run as admin? Thats the only thing I can think of. What OS?

Oh sorry, Windows 7 64 bit. I just left-click as normal. I will say that in the case of the Mass Effect DLC, it has required admin approval, so when I click on it, it prompts me with another dialogue box asking if I trust the source, and I say yes. Maybe it's related to that.
