Answer 1

Installing software does not necessarily require admin rights. It depends where you install it. If you want it installed into the `Program Files` directory where most apps go, that does require an account better than a standard user. If a service needs to be installed, then yes you need admin rights.

If you just save it somewhere under `C:UsersMy Name Here` then you can install anything. However other users/accounts will not have access to it.
