Is there anyway to change the location of the dll reference like in the manifest file.

I would have no idea. Can you explain what it is you're trying to do and why?

I am trying to play the game but i do not have administration rights and have already bought it.

Ok, good. Is this problem happening with Steam or with the stand-alone installer?

When I launch it through steam it requires administration and when i try running the game through the exe it doesn't run because it is not installed. No admin works for games which don't need installation and i understand that this does, but i was wandering if there was any way around this.

All right, now I'm on the same page. The game indeed requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 runtime and OpenAL installed in the system, which requires admin rights elevation for installation.

Technically I guess you could avoid installing those by just obtaining and copying the dll's from the runtime and OpenAL to the appropriate Windows system folders, but in any case, you'd hit the admin rights issue that way too as you can't write in any of the system folders.

You might be able to achieve something by adding the required dll's in the game's folder and mucking around with the manifest files for the game AND for the runtime dll's, but I've personally never bothered to look there.
