Yes, I have this problem on business-owned laptops. You must have admin privileges to install gVim. You may be able to request admin privileges from an administrator.
An alternative, though not completely the same, is to install git-bash from git-scm.com. It includes many GNU command-line tools and also vim, but you will have to use it through the terminal. This means that it doesn't integrate with the Windows clipboard as cleanly as gVim (though you can interact with it through /dev/clipboard). You will also need to concern yourself with unix vs dos newlines, though it is trivial to convert back and forth using sed. This may provide you with a workaround until you can install gVim.
