They just won't distribute or support the app. 7z package is perfectly acceptable from the IT team's point of view. To be clear, the IT team is fine with us running executables that they did not install, so running the portable Inkscape from the. I work at an institution where the central IT team has no interest in distributing or supporting Inkscape, but my team need to use Inkscape regularly. I am not familiar with the NSIS installer format, but from what I have read, this can be achieved by setting RequestExecutionLevel user in the installer script. %ProgramFiles%\Inkscape (system-wide) if the user is privileged, or %LocalAppData%\Programs\Inkscape (per-user) otherwise. Ideally the installer should detect whether the user has admin rights, and set the default installation path accordingly, i.e. This will allow users to install and use Inkscape on computers on which they have no administrative rights, and create an uninstaller to uninstall the program cleanly if needed.
I suggest that the installer be made to allow non-admin users to install Inkscape into %LocalAppData%\Programs\Inkcape by default. The current Windows installer (.exe) doesn't allow non-admin users to install Inkscape. I have been redirected here from the Chat room and advised to ping about this feature request.
