I don't have admin, but can use admin by request to grant temporary admin.
Once admin by request, I run the installer, but it errors out.
If I right click the installer and run it as admin, the install is successful.
Perhaps we need to document that MAVProxy installation needs to be run as admin?

Research direction
Start with the Windows installation section of the MAVExplorer log-analysis wiki page and reproduce the MAVProxy 1.8.71 installation using the reported non-admin setup. Check whether the instructions already mention administrator privileges. Done means the Windows guidance accurately explains the required permissions and installation steps.
