You just need administrator rights in order to install it. To run FFS u don't need admin rights.

If you get a failure to copy data while running FreeFileSync( FFS),
it is likely simply a problem of access rights in the folders involved in the sync.
Your non-admin user (under which you run FFS) may not have write access to those folders.
