cannot run setup64.exe without admin privileges (even if renamed foo.exe)

I would like to run setup64.exe on Windows 7 without asking for admin
rights but the computer asks me for admin credentials.
I read this: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-06/msg00286.html where
Corinna suggested to rename the .exe to foo.exe but this did not work.
I also do not have the rights to modify the Local Security Policy.
Is there any workaround? Would it be possible to supply a setup that
do not need admin privileges?
Regards,
Frédéric
