Why do you say that these should be installed in someplace other
than the default? What issues does it cause, and is there anything I
can do about it now other than removing and reinstalling everything?

The c:\Program files directories are 'virtualized' ... and Windows doesn't like updating those directories without escalated privileges. Eclipse, which RDP is based on, likes to update the directory it was installed in frequently. This can only be done if the program is being run with admin rights or with UAC turned off.

You *MIGHT* find updates to virtualized directories in the '%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\VirtualStore" directory.

Personally, I would suggest uninstalling and re-installing in another location.
