Anyway to bypass Administrator requirements for codecs

I have a great computer at work but I do not have Windows Media Player 9. Is there anyway that anyone knows that I can install Windows Media Player 9 or even just the Windows Media Video 9 codec to Media Player 6.4 without being an admin .. any help would be appreciated.

P.S. ... I don't want to hack the admin account or anything like that so please nothing of that nature. If thats what it takes I just wont do it. Just want to be able to view videos on LaunchCast since I work the overnight shifts and things are always really slow. Thanks.

The computer is using windows 2000

 

Nope.

 

The Media Player 9 codecs are available for installation into the old 6.4:

But codecs are generally classified along with drivers and you will need Admin privileges or an abundance of ingenuity to get them in.

 

I liked my answer better, to the point.

 

But you left no hope....

 

That was my intent.

Getting around the restrictions in any way is subverting the employer's policies. Is it really worth risking your job over it?
