Actually that depends on the software, not the installer...I've
written many installs (MSI and not) that don't require admin
priviledges and can install to the user's directory if they want.
TSVN and our commandline installer, however, do modify parts of the
system registry and install to an all-users location so they will
require admin priviledges. I don't think there is any way around that
for TSVN since it is a shell extension, but you can always just unzip
the commandline binaries wherever you want and use them from there.
