yes. you don't even need to run a full install. there are zip and 7z packages for userspace installation anywhere without the need for admin privileges. The temp folder can be set to wherever you need it to be. the system is quite able to work around the deficiencies of the windows environment, to the point where they even have special platform build routines to accommodate things like windows being unable to do most compilation tasks needed for some package installation.

I'll make sure to let the maintainers know your demands. I'm sure they'll appreciate your contributions to improving the windows build development experience. Let us know where you plan to start.
