There assuredly is something very wrong with it. It goes completely against Microsoft's guidelines for software installation, and is a security risk because the folder can be written to. "Program Files" is only writeable for applications with admin rights, and hence software installed there can't be modified by malware. The proper way to do it is to put the executables in "Program Files", and user data in "AppData".
