[Gimp-developer] gimp-2.10.2-setup.exe --no-admin



Gimp Windows installer should have an option to install without admin
rights.

I know, there are portable apps, but why not use the original installer?

Cygwin installer has an option

-B --no-admin                     Do not check for and enforce running as
                                   Administrator

Same should work for Gimp installer on Windows. With -B installer should
ask user for a user writable target folder.
