Answer 1

You can not install it without administrator privileges. It would be lack of security I guess. What you can use in pipelines for instance is:

$url = "https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.6/python-3.7.6-amd64.exe"
$output = "C:/tmp/python-3.7.6-amd64.exe"

if (Test-Path $output) {
    Write-Host "Script exists - skipping installation"
    return;
}

New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path C:/tmp

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -OutFile $output


& $output /passive InstallAllUsers=1 PrependPath=1 Include_test=0 

But still, Admin rights are required
