Quickbooks 2006 - non admin rights instructions
So you are now installing the 2006 [the R3 version of course] and you want to run without admin rights on the 2006 version?
Here's the updated instructions:
QuickBooks Community - Running QB 2006 without Power User or Admin Privs.:

I'll try to spare you any editorializing. Suffice to say, these changes will allow regular users to run and use QuickBooks 2006. Updating will not work unless you are an administrator, but it will abort relatively gracefully with a message along the lines of "Only adminsitrators are allowed to update QuickBooks." I'm not quite sure how I feel about this development. I can't verify this yet, but it seems that this is not a matter of file or registry permissions, or of windows installer policies, but rather a direct check of group membership tokens. In which case we'll probably just have to learn to live with it.
