Can't install MS keyboard software due to company policy. Any alternatives?

Can't install MS keyboard software due to company policy. Any alternatives? I bought a Microsoft desktop set for my desk at work. The keyboard and mouse work but I can't install the supplied IntelliType Pro software to make use of the media keys (e.g. assign favourite programs to run).

"There is no reason for not being able to install IntelliType Pro, except if you have the wrong installer. For example, you might be trying to install 32bits drivers on 64bits Windows.

I suggest that you download the latest IntelliType Pro version from Microsoft at:
Download Mouse and Keyboard Software
and try again.

EDIT

If group policies are blocking the installation, here are two ways to bypass them (not tested by myself):

Remove the ethernet
cable from the computer immediately after logging in
(i.e. as soon as credentials are accepted) to block GPs
from being downloaded/applied. Source.
Disabling Group Policy restrictions through the registry"
