Oh. So it's not actually admin rights, it's a group policy restriction.

Sure you can, it's just harder to do when your domain admins are trying
to prevent you from doing it ;)

You could try installing the MSI of the runtime on a different machine,
then manually copy the files over to the one you need to run it on. It's
not really convenient, but you *are* trying to do something your admins
don't want you to do after all ;-)
