If Arduino-IDE is installed for User only, installing additions tries to install them to %PROGRAMFILES% on Windows

[tps800]

Describe the problem

If Arduino-IDE is installed for User only, installing additions tries to install them to %PROGRAMFILES% on Windows

To reproduce

Install Arduino-IDE for User-Only, or install Arduino-IDE by unpacking the zip-Version. Then install additional libraries and Boards.

Expected behavior

Libraries and Boards are installed for User-Only, not global for all users. If drivers needed are to install, just copy them into some directory, so an User with admin-rights could install them.

Arduino IDE version

2.3.7

Operating system

Windows

Operating system version

10

Additional context

Version: 2.3.7-nightly-20250410
Date: 2025-04-10T03:24:25.880Z
CLI Version: 1.2.0

With Linux and MacOS this works as it should: Libraries and Boards are installed, drivers are mentioned to be updated or installed in a second step.
