Installing Python on Windows Without Admin Rights

To install Python on Windows without Admin Rights:

1. Download binary from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/

2. Run the following in cmd.exe terminal.

   mkdir %USERPROFILE%\apps\python-2.6.6
   msiexec /a python-2.6.6.amd64.msi /qb TARGETDIR=%USERPROFILE%\apps\python-2.6.6
   

Starting Python 3.5 the official downloads site already has "Windows x86-64 embeddable zip file" version you may download. This you may install without Admin Rights already.
