Imagine I am a student which uses an University system. I will not be granted
for the "root" rights. Even if I choose an install in my home directory, the
install program will not complete just because I'm not root !

In my opinion, your install program discards some testers from the wine
community. Moreover, in the previous example, students could give you new
development forces.

You have to mean it as a feature enhancement:
"Offer user installation capability".
