My work PC has restrictions that stop me from adding programs to the start menu so when I try to install Python using the Python 2.6.5 Windows installer it can't complete as it tries to add a shortcut to my start menu.

Is there a way around this? I.e another way of installing without the need for a shortcut?
I've tried Python portable but as it doesn't add anything to the registry it can't be detected.

Edit:
I'll also need to install NumPy which I can't do on the Portable version of Python.
