I've also had trouble with administrative privileges on a Windows 7 PC. What I've done is to bypass the whole installation process entirely by using the portable version of LibreOffice. It is meant to run from a flash drive (but can run off a hard drive as well) and therefore has no registry entries. The advantage being that you can have it on a PC without admin privileges. The portable version is available from www.libreoffice.org/download/portable/ or portableapps.com/libreofficeportable > Further little problem.

I'm curious, are you not able to select LibreOffice from the "Choose default program..." dialogue at all? Are you not able to browse to the exe file(s)? I am able to assign LibreOffice as the default for various files. However, as there is no installation, it has no short-cuts on the desktop or start menu or anything, would have to do those manually.
