Write permission to somewhere is enough to install with this approach. 
It uses a self-contained Ruby, so nothing needs to go in any system 
directory, and no changes to PATH are needed. I don't have admin rights 
on my work machine but this don't prevent me installing this way.

Try using the Weft QDA 1.9 installer and setting the target directory to 
X:/MyStuff/Weft (or whatever your networked home dir is called):

http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/35715/weft-qda-install-1.9.0.exe

it's only an alpha release but it should allow you to assess the 
viability of this approach.
