Windows binary installer without administrator rights

The Windows installer at https://golang.org/dl/ requires administrator rights (tested on Windows 7) to complete. Why does it needs this? Is there a version available that does not need that?

Hi

I guess the MSI package (the installer package), need higher permission to windows, or your computer has restriction for installing MSI packages without administrator rights.

A solution is to download the binary instead, add the Environment variable manually. It works for me.
