Install Any Software Without Admin Rights?!
Main summary
Key takeaways
Windows Installer Workaround
The video demonstrates a workaround for launching an installer when the user does not have the administrator password. The presenter creates a batch file that sets the RunAsInvoker compatibility option, then points it to an installer—in the example, Steam Setup. The video claims this removes the password prompt and allows the program to run.
Important Limitation
RunAsInvoker runs a program with the current user’s permissions. It does not grant administrator privileges or bypass Windows access controls. An installer that requires elevation may still fail or be unable to make system-wide changes.
Use this method only on a computer you own or are authorized to manage.
