Impossible to install digikam 5.8.0 as low privilege user on MS Windows 10

[cerp at eeos.biz]

Dear Gilles,

I udnerstand your point. My point would be that, because we are  
allowed to install in our user set of directories, digikam should  
offer the option to be installed in those, just like many other  
programmes, not only rawtherapee. Under Linux, you only install using  
admin if you do a system wide install, but if you install in the /home  
of the user, you can still do it.

Best,
