Installing Report Builder - need to be local Admin?

We would like to allow users to start building reports using Report Builder. Can someone tell me if you need to be a local admin to just INSTALL Report Builder We've tested for a few users and had some problems (they do not have local admin rights on their machines but do have "Report Builder" access on the reporting server.) I know that .NET framework 2.0 is necessary. Just wondering how the install works, or if we can deploy Report Builder to these workstations in some other way without having to launch the install manually at each station. This link didn't seem to help much: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345245.aspx. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

    Installing .NET 2.0 requires local admin permissions.

    If the framework is already present, a user on the local intranet should be able to launch Report Builder using the LocalIntranet URL specified in the link above, and have the application come up without any trust prompt.
