Please Ryudo, you are around here time enough to know about the problems caused by those "blessed" folders.
Still, for the records, from the very log on the OP second code block:
And, the folders creation and defaults are dictated by the Install Shield. I'm not sure about the support files location but the installation can be changed from there, or the devs start using another installer.
Anyway, repeating, the OP actual issue is not directories location, this is cosmetic and good if can be solved... but the actual problem is of access rights, as in the log, and THIS is a known issue from long time, it has plagued all moddable games since the first installment of Vista and was a huge (still is, sadly, some people are slow learners, are you listening me MS?) problem for games like Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3 and NV, Skyrim... just to justify mentioning Bethesda before, but you may include almost every moddable game over there.
The problem is not the user's access rights, the main application inherits it from the user and all is well... the problem arises when mods or plugins try to access the game's resources and is seen as invader by the Windows security system over those specially protected folders. This is totally outside the devs control.
Still, for the records, from the very log on the OP second code block:
