You can ask your administrator to do this for you by following the following steps: Open the Start Menu, search for Command Prompt, right-click on it and select Run as administrator. Feel free to contact me if you need beta testers for this feature. One of the ways to be able to install program without admin rights in Windows 10 is to convert your standard user account to an administrator account on your PC.
In our case, users would gladly have a limited user-only install without direct links, so a selection in the beginning ("Full" or "Light" install) would be perfectly fine and shouldn't be too hard to implement. What a lot of programs do is ask at the very beginning whether the program should be installed only for the user (to appdata) or for every user (to Program Files) and only request admin privileges if the user selects all users. Currently, the Admin prompt pops up before selecting the folder, so users that do not have privileges will not even get to that part. I think the default install location will also cause problems: Admin rights are always needed to install to the Program Files folder. I'm looking into whether there's a similar registry write we can do that doesn't require admin privileges. From what I can tell, the only piece of our installation that requires admin privileges is the registry write to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT we make to support direct links.
