Hello people, I wanted to hear some opinions and maybe a possible solution to my problem. I want to install LibreOffice on a Windows 11 machine, for which I have restricted user rights. Using the standard installer requires admin rights, because it defaults to a system-wide installation. For other popular FOSS programs like GIMP, Firefox and others, there is the “user installation” available, so admin rights are not needed. There is the portable version of LibreOffice, provided by PortableApps, but its use case is different and the version they provide is outdated, I want to enjoy the latest fresh release of LibreOffice and install updates easily. I am considering moving a already installed copy to the user directory of my restricted user from another machine, but this I see as a last resort for my issue. Is there an easier way to do this? Thanks in advance!
You can probe the Separate Install Gui
which is mentioned in Separate Install GUI - The Document Foundation Wiki
or
You must ask to your system administrator.

Thank you! Do you think it will be a good idea to file a feature request for this?
- LibreOffice installation tries to integrate with Windows the way other programs do.
- Separate Install GUi is a fully functional program that installs libreOffice in a portable way (just like Portable Apps).
- I believe that it is not necessary to submit a feature request since this feature already exists with these programs and is not the usual way of installing programs.
