NCover.Console requires admin privileges

In my quest to get unit testing and code coverage, I was disappointed to find that NCover requires administrative privileges to run. I posted on their forum about this, and was informed that the authors "haven't had a good enough reason" to fix the problem.

So right now, if you want to use NCover in your CruiseControl implementation, you're going to need to run the CruiseControl service under a user account with admin privileges. That's just wrong. I offered my help - I hope they will take me up on it.

I'm a bit surprised that I didn't see more of an outcry about this. I spent a bit of time searching and found some posts by NCover guys saying that NCover.Console requires admin privileges to run, but I didn't find anyone questioning that.

Wow. Are people regularly running CruiseControl with admin privileges? Or is nobody using NCover? Inquiring minds want to know...
