EDITED: As an experiment. it's pretty weird if you cannot run that KF2 demo. Using its EXE file (which you must unless you associate the SOM file extension with SOM_EX.exe) you shouldn't have to use Administrator. You need to figure out why that is a problem for you. Unless Microsoft just rolled out a catastrophic Update I haven't installed there is something on your computer like antivirus software maybe that is interfering with your programs.
SOM can't run if it has other software making modifications to it, since that's pretty much what SOM_EX does. They would be stepping on each other's feet. It's pretty messed up that Windows lets other software infect applications without your consent, but that's pretty much what a lot of "enhancement" and "guardian" style commercial software does on Windows. The former kind is also a possibility. Like if you've installed something to enhance your games. I don't know. I wouldn't normally help anyone to install SOM, much less go to this length, but I know that right now no one is doing anything with it, and I'm the only one who is going to reply to SOM related business here. It's not really my place to troubleshoot this stuff, but it's a bind because there isn't a healthy user base either.
And not even the owner of this website has your interest at heart. So. That's life.
