this game requires administrative privileges

I have a windows setup with an administrator user. I use a restricted user for security reasons.
Any other game platform i have works fine. I've just bought the command & conquer ultimate collection to play red alert 2, but when I launch it (or any other game from the same collection, in fact) i get a window saying "this game requires permission - this game requires administrative privileges. Do you want to grant access and launch the game?" and if i click ok i get an error "failed to launch the game - an error on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again a little later".

I've tried installing it on a laptop that has only one standard admin user. Doesn't show the last error ( an error on our end caused the launch to fail) but the game doesn't start.
