Use the -accessRights argument to specify whether to install software in administrator or nonadministrator mode:
For Microsoft® Windows® XP users who are members of an administrator group, the default is always the -accessRights admin argument and option. For Windows XP users to run in nonAdmin mode, you must pass the -accessRights nonAdmin argument explicitly in the command.
The install.exe and userinst.exe commands install Installation Manager into different directories. Changes that you make to the administrator installation of Installation Manager do not affect the nonadministrator installation. Similarly, changes that you make to the nonadministrator installation of Installation Manager do not affect the administrator installation. Each instance of Installation Manager must have its own installation directory and agent data location.
