You could create local 'root' user and add him to the local
Administrators group.

BTW SUA is being deprecated - W8 will be the last one to have it.

I also tend to install SUA on every Windows box I use regularly,
together with, say,
ftp://ftp.interopsystems.com/pkgs/bundles/pkg-current-bundlecomplete60x64.exe
. or from http://www.suacommunity.com/tool_warehouse.aspx . I've done
a few times pkgsrc bootstrap under Windows, but nowadays I tend to run
xBSD or Solaris either in some VM or multiboot.
