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

[cerp at eeos.biz]

When you start using it, there is no way back and you cannot stop ....  
to some extent a nasty virus alright! :D

PS: It is not against the policy of my employer, I am just travelling  
so I cannot see my privileges because it would require me to  
physically be on the subnet .... :)
