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.
