There are a lot of times when you don’t actually need admin privileges to install that bundled-up *.msi.
Take AdoptOpenJDK binaries for instance.
You can simply run:
msiexec.exe /i OpenJDK11U-jdk_x64_windows_hotspot_11.0.7_10.msi INSTALLDIR=%USERPROFILE%\AdoptOpenJDK\jdk-11.0.6.10-hotspot\ MSIINSTALLPERUSER=1
The important settings are the: INSTALLDIR=
which has to be a directory where you have write privileges and the MSIINSTALLPERUSER=
which with the setting of 1
will install it as a single user.
Also tested to work with 7zip.
