Could you file this as a bugreport on Github, please? This should be a bug in the engine.

No, the problem is that he has installed them in "Program Files" wich is owned by the admin. Move the minetest folder to somwhere else, e.g. your documents folder or whatever.

I would consider this a bug, since minetest crashes. There should be a clear error message instead.

What should Minetest do if the OS just kills the program? There is not proper way to handle this. Get a better OS.

We could at least include some notice on the download page to tell Windows users to not put their Minetest directory in Program Files.

This is not related to Minetest at all, its the OS's fault.

Minetest should write the user-data to %APPDATA%/Minetest/ like it does in ~/.minetest on other OSes
