If you are a regular user time to privesc, going from user to a more privileged user either Administrator or SYSTEM then if so desired go for domain or enterprise admin. Something else what security measures are in play? IIRC there are GPO's to prevent regular users from installing software.
It's not usually Group Policy that handles it, that's normal ACL permissions.
Chrome for example lets you install even if you're not an Admin, just say no to the UAC prompt and it plops itself in %AppData% (Roaming AppData).
You can specify in GP what stuff is allowed to run, but as for installing usually that should be left up to simple Windows rules. Non-Admins can't install to Program Files.
