Both questions can usually be answered with "poor administrators".
Insufficient knowledge to disable USB ports, and not cunning enough
to install snooping software. I've seen that situation in workplaces
often enough.

I hope a manual install will still be possible, so a small installation
package without all unnecessary stuff (gpgv.exe, language files,
iconv.dll) and all executables compressed by upx can still be created
(maybe compressing the executables isn't a bad idea for the basic install
anyway?).
