    Anyone know if its possible to install the Windows desktop client without needing admin rights?  Trying to install on a work laptop.

    Thanks.

    You mean without Windows admin rights? I do not, and I'd say if it's a work computer and your work won't get their admin to install it for you then it might not be a great idea to try and force. Likely a big no-no for your company. I got MASSIVE crap once for just changing the wallpaper on a computer in a back warehouse that only I use and it was to a basketball picture.

    You can if you already have dotnet installed. That 100% needs admin privilages.

    However you likely still need admin permissions to run a program thats downloaded from the internet as per your devices security rules (i doubt your work laptop has that disabled)
