There's more than one way to set the program files to read-only.  The method suggested by JMP

If you install the game to a seperate partition which is then mounted read-only, it is impossible for the game to attempt to edit those files.


does require a separate disk partition which you'd have to explicitly mount as read-only before launching the game.  This isn't the same method as running from a crippled user account, which is on the same partition.  I have no experience with the fallibility of this latter method; it may depend on your OS.  Naturally, JMPs method is bullet-proof to any OS.
