Every installation from the Windows 10 App Store requires admin priviliges, that is usually gained with privilege escalation, by running the Store App with privilige escalation by default. In a managed environment, where the regular user is not an admin of the workstation, the Store App is usually blocked or unable to install apps. So if you want to run on a workstation where the logged on user does not have the privilige to do privilige escalation (by default or with the infamous dialog box asking the user whether the application is allowed to modify system or not), you need a portable version that just requires files to be unzipped and an executable run. Of course the IT people can still block any unauthorized .EXE, or configure the antivirus/malware protection to stop suspicious .EXEs, but is quite rare and done only on very critical system (industrial plant control systems, medical workstations, military control systems, financial workstations connected to online marketplaces and so on). Hope I clarified my request a bit. Thanx for your attention Greg!
