What you want is the ability to install software (that's all a game is) and
for some reason you do not have it on this computer using the account you
are logged in as. Likely a wise choice made by you or some other
administrator at some point - to prevent the installation of things
unintentionally (trojans, viruses and the likes.)

Why don't you just log off, log back on as a user with adminstrative rights,
install the game, log off and log back into the account that you use daily?

Your computer is setup in the way it should be for most people - where the
users of said computer are not system administrators/power users and cannot
install software because of that. This protects them, their data and the
computer as a whole quite effectively.
