Admin Rights Required To Update System C Runtime For Python

I'm bundling a Python installer (python 3.7.3) from Python.org. I plan on using the silent mode install as part of a larger installer. From here, within the installation notes it

Solution 1:

It's probably just a documentation error. Here is how the installer really works (or at least supposed to):

When installed for all users, the following files are installed to
either "%SystemRoot%\System32" or "%SystemRoot%\SysWOW64" as
appropriate. For the current user, they are installed in the Python
install directory.

.\python3x.dll      The core interpreter
.\python3.dll       The stable ABI reference
.\appcrt140.dll     Microsoft Visual C Runtime
.\desktopcrt140.dll Microsoft Visual C Runtime
.\vcruntime140.dll  Microsoft Visual C Runtime

When installed for all users, the following files are installed to
"%SystemRoot%" (typically "C:\Windows") to ensure they are always
available on PATH. (See Launching Python below.) For the current user,
they are installed in the Python install directory.

.\py[w].exe         PEP 397 launcher
