Description

Hi,

Currently your installer for windows requires Admin permission regardless of whether you change the install path to one that doesn't require Admin rights. I'm guessing this is because the installer attempts to add install directory to system PATH.
Could you provide an option to not add to the PATH so that users with no Admin rights can use the installer?

Alternatively you could just include the session-manager-plugin.exe in the releases on github?

This might be a niche of devs wit no admin rights but I would appreciate if you could consider one of the two options.

Thanks
