instalation without using installer

Is there a way to install dynare without using installer? Although MATLAB is installed in work PC, dynare is considered as nonstandard software and they won't let me install using installer.
Since I don't have admin right to run excutable, wondering if there is a way to install side stepping installer.

Thanks.

Under Windows, you can simply copy the whole Dynare folder from a different computer with the same version (32 bit vs 64 bit) and then proceed as usual

Hi Johannes, I copied the dynare folder as you suggested. But when I did test run, I got the following error message

"This program is blocked by group policy. For more information, contact your system administrator
Error using dynare(line 174)
Dynare preprocessing failed."

Any idea what is going on and what might be done to resolve this?

Thanks.

It seems your administrator blocks you from calling the dynare_m.exe file. If that is the case, you cannot run a different Dynare version.
