I /assume/ that http://tug.org/texlive/windows.html is correct ("Run as 
administrator" is required if one wants to install for all users), in 
which case should not https://www.tug.org/texlive/quickinstall.html read :

>
>       Running the installer
>
> You do not need to be root (administrator on Windows) to install, use, 
> or manage TeX Live. Indeed, we recommend installing it as a normal
