I have just started a contract at my most anal company yet. They don't give admin rights on the PC (even to developers), so I can't install anything and I can't use RegEdit (even on the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive).
I would really like to use Vim, but it is not on "The List" so I cannot install it legitimately. I have copied in the files, which kinda works, but the best use is through a proper installation which sets up the Registry keys etc. I have kludged together a small C++ program to mimic in HKEY_CURRENT_USER the Vim entries in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and thus use the right-click context menu item "Edit with Vim" in Windows Explorer (this works programatically, but not with RegEdit).
Is there any way gvim can be installed by someone with no admin rights?
Failing that, what other Registry entries can I kludge onto HKEY_CURRENT_USER? I would like the other context menu item "Edit with Existing Vim", for example.
