Installing Xvid with no admin privaleges

[pircio]

Hey I'd like to be able to get the Xvid codec installed at my work computer where I don't have full admin privalages. I can install anything to a designated folder in my documents but as soon as I open the installer it tells me I need admin.

Is there any alternate way to install or play my video?

videolan (VLC) should be able to play xvid files without admin rights. iirc you can download it as a zip file, extract to your folder and then play the files.

ffdshow would be an alternative to play the files using standard WMP, but I suspect it will want admin rights also.
