Is your feature request related to a problem?
Yes. My issue is that although I used msiexec and I obtained devpod.exe and devpod-cli.exe, I would like that non-admin or non-elevated users like me can use devpod without entering commands in cmd and powershell.

Which solution do you suggest?
Try to compile a .exe that everybody can run (admins and not).

Which alternative solutions exist?
Make a .msi file that doesn't need admin privileges.

Additional context
My User Account in my Windows pc doesn't have admin privileges (for family reasons) and so I cannot install, without passing through msiexec, the .msi file installer.

@LorenzoColitta thanks for opening this issue. User-only installations are on our roadmap but not with the highest priority as it would require us working around an upstream issue in tauri (see this ticket).
We'll potentially offer an nsis installer as well if it supports per-user installations
