It's just expanding $ENV{TEMP} to get that directory, so you should
still be able to write the temporary files to the cache. There should
be no registry entries or DLL registries required, but I don't have a
lot of experience with PAR.

I installed PAR using ppm. It seemed to work. It created an executable
file
that ran.
It seems that what it's doing is putting (installing?) Perl, or at least
a
big piece of it, in a "temp" file. Specifically: C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\Local
Settings\Temp\par-Administrator\cache-1153854792
If I wasn't logged on as admin, could it write to a file in that part of
the dir tree?
If it can do that, it "looks like" executing off the CD should be much
the
same thing, without installing a bunch of files on the host computer.
Unless that executable, in addition to those files, added registry
entries
as well. Hummm...
