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.

> Bugs are still bugs, the ecosystem is cross platform, it needs to be
agnostic. Windows is an operating system and devs are responible for
programming accordingly to the deployed enviroment. What you say is
partially incorrect, it is actually generally only inside the scope of a
team effort.

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.
