I would suggest contacting your computer administrator and ask him to go about installing it on your computer (since you work in company etc. I'm assuming you have such a person). If this will not go over well then maybe just burn the real player installation files to a CD and install them yourself on your workstation (this may not be allowed if you have an administrator... may not have the proper privaleges to do so).

unfortunatly to say my administrator is a hardass would be an understatement so thats out of the question to ask, need something i can download but requires no installation process

Sorry, I don't know of any media player that doesn't require installation, especially for RealPlayer video files since it is a proprietary file type.

You're toeing the line of what can be discussed here. If your company has a policy of not letting users install software, it's for a reason. Breaking this rule could end up with you being fired. My advice would be, to watch the movies at home if you care about keeping your job.
