Sure, if your goal is to try and somehow allow installation without Admin 
rights, rather than comply with the MS guidelines for software.  I am just 
trying to understand your reasoning why POV should be different from 
standard software.

> I see many programs that install without admin rights.

That is not approved by MS though (hence they won't pass the Windows Logo 
tests, binaries won't be protected, it could go all screwy if the user 
profile is on a network resource, the installer might not work with future 
Windows updates/versions, etc).  OOC where do these other programs put the 
binaries?
