How to install TortoiseGit without administrator privileges?

I work in a virtual machine with limited rights. I can install any program that does not require administrator rights during the installation process. But installing TortoiseGit requires rights, because it integrates with Explorer. Is it possible to install TortoiseGit without administrator rights? May be without integration with the conductor.

My system is Windows 7 x64, TortoiseGit version is 1.8.3.0

Not yet: error 726 . This installation with reduced features was made for the Mercury ( portable TortoiseHg ), but not yet for TortoiseGit.

The only workaround mentioned in this comment is to install it once (with elevated privileges), zip the installation directory and use this archive on another machine.
Obviously, all menu integration in Windows Explorer will not be present.

This requires the common version of Microsoft Visual C ++ (also here)):

If you started the application and received an error message

The program can't start because MSVCR110.dll is missing from your computer. 

then the Microsoft Visual C ++ redistributable computer is missing the current one .

This error appears if you want to run software that requires Microsoft Visual C ++ 2012 Redistributable.
Redistributable can be easily uploaded to the Microsoft website as an x86 or x64 version.

Depending on the software you want to install, you need to install either a 32-bit or a 64-bit version.
If you don’t know which version you need to install, start installing the 32-bit version, and if you still have an error, install the 64-bit version.
On a 32-bit OS, you can only install a 32-bit redistributable.

You need to install the correct Microsoft Visual C ++ Redistributable. If the software you want to run requires the 2012 library, it will not start from 2010.

You can install both versions on the same computer at the same time (if it is a 64-bit OS).


Mark Ch adds in a comment:

After execution, you can run it as:

 c:\[full path]\TortoiseGitProc.exe /command:log 

from the workspace folder using the command line or shortcut.
This brings up a log window from which you can get almost any other function.

It's impossible. See Issue 726 on the TortoiseGit homepage.
