Hello VirtualBox community,

I just wanted to ask a question. Is there a VirtualBox installer that doesn't need admin rights to install? Thanks.

I do not know of any program that will install on Windows Vista/Win 7 without admin privilege.

Google Chrome installs without admin privileges, but it's only available for the user. It's a dirty solution IMO. There are other applications that can be installed without admin privileges. But VB requires kernel hooks and those can't be installed without administrator privileges.
