Does anyone know of a portable version of the Sonicwall Global VPN Client compatible with Windows 7 64 bit?

I basically need to connect to my workplace during heavy snow here in Liverpool, and the only logon I have available on this computer is a non-administrator account (which won't let me install the program)... And I can't get hold of the administrator!

If anyone knows of any alternative program/any hacks or other suggestions would be very welcome!

Note I've tried extracting the MSI using 7-zip, which presented me with an MSI installer and "RunMSI.exe". The extracted MSI allowed me to get part way through the installation, and then asked for admin password again.
