Windows

Most installers comes with a self extracting .exe file that requires admin-privelegues to be run directly. However many such files are quite often nothing more than a zip- archive, that can be extracted using 7zip or any other unzipping program. Unzipping to your own home area (the M: disk) does not require any special privelegues.

Typically this can be done by right-clicking on the file and selecting "Pakk ut..." or "Extract...".


Environment variables

Sometimes, programs need Environment variables. The self extracting-exe tends to take care of those using admin privelegues, thus making the program available to all users. However if you are installing on your own disk area, you can use the program on any machine as long as the environment variable are set.
