What are some instances that it need administrator like partitioning a separate drive?


Because unlike a word processor or other simple application, a virtualization engine requires many system-level components installed and running in order to create a computer completely from software.  Even as Paul said there *might* be a VERY old version which did not require Administrative privileges, I highly doubt it - Workstation has ALWAYS had some system-level components which need to be installed in system-controlled areas of the OS - and Fusion is running very much the same.  So no, you will not find a portable App style version of a virtualization engine.  Possibly an emulation software, but definitely not virtualization software.
