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!
