Install Application without Admin Account

Is it possible to install Visual Studio without admin rights?
I don't think you can but just asking as we are in an education environment and all Computer Users are User accounts.

Thankyou

Hi @PETERHINDLE-0918,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

For reasons of security, the administrator permissions are required when installing Visual Studio.
According to your description, you can try to create a network installation and deploy to client workstations.

Sincerely,
Anna

YOU NEED AN EXTRA DRIVE THATS BLANK
I have C:\ (500GB) That Needs Admin
But I have backup D:\ that doesn't need admin and stored with 1TB!
