I want to install the content of a .exe file from a normal user
account using command prompt which do not have administrative
priviledges. help out urgently.


Although this isn't the proper forum for this question, I'll try.

Use the command prompt command "runas" to open another command prompt using
the credentials of an account that does have install privs. Install from
there.

For example..

C:\> runas /user:domain\adminuser cmd

This will prompt for the password for the adminuser account, and then open
another command prompt with those credentials. You can then execute your
install program or script from there.
