So... complain to HumanWare?
I don't know what kind of software runs there.
I first thought that you were running some Windows, in which case you
could use binaries that don't need "installation", like the ones on [1]
[2]. There are also subversion clients that are "unzip & run".

Since you can't install software, are you sure you will be able to run
MediaWiki there? You will need at least a php interpreter, and a web
server (you could skip the db server if using SQLite backend).
It would also be possible to use a php script to ungzip an untar the
package.
If you can't install software, installing mediawiki may not be too feasible.
