The installer does the following things that require adminsitrative 
privileges:

Copy files to "Program Files": other path can be chosen

Write to some registry keys in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE: don't know if used by 
other applications but could be done in HKEY_CURRENT_USER when non-admin 
or just skipped.

So there is no good reason to require adminstrative privileges altough 
extra functionality can be provided.
