Installation of Scilab 5 beta 1

[Philippe Mattei]

Hi all,
First congratulations to the dev team on the Scilab 5 beta that looks 
very promising.

Yet I have a little question about the Windows installer of Scilab 5 
beta 1: for now the installer refuses to go on if the user has no 
administator rights (on WinXP).
I would like to know if you "really" need to be administator to install 
Scilab 5 on Windows (not for the local JRE installation I guess, maybe 
for vc-redistributable related things?) As a user of Scilab in an 
industrial context, I would prefer that it would not require any admin 
rights since most of our users don't have privileges (as in most large 
companies really) Besides I did try to simply copy and paste a whole 
Scilab 5 folder to a machine without privileges (via an USB key) and it 
worked fine that way.
(Note: the "ask for admin privileges" is the default behavior of Inno 
Setup that you seem to be using for the installer).
