Installing the IDE without admin rights

[steve-itb]

Hi,

I tried to install this on my work laptop (windows) but it requires an admin to do it.
Is it possible to install on this release on windows without admin rights?

Thank you for your help

Related note, installing on a corporate computer (windows) that allows elevated permissions (BeyondTrust) can trigger A LOT of warnings, (Registry Edits and Command Processor). I realize this is generic feedback, but installing RStudio or VSCode on the same machine does not triggers these warnings. I think this is important to minimize so corporate user can more easily test the IDE.
