since the account is limited, you can not install anything. unless the admin installs it than you can use it.

when installing you are typically asked whether you want the application to be available to all users or just the one currently installing. you can uninstall, then reinstall and select the "all users" choice or you can change the permissions on the executable file whatever the main program file .exe is - like this:
