Using Group Policies, you can get the program to install automatically when the user logs in. Otherwise, it just cannot be done.

    Group policies are actually the cleanest way to install software in a domain. +1

  • Well, I thought they would be the only (sane) way.

Outside of an ActiveX control on a website that the user will have to authorize, I can't think of a way of remotely installing software that does not require a login, unless the system is completely open to the world (ie, RDP and the $ADMIN share are not asking for credentials to load).

If your software doesn't require big modifications on the client machine, the best idea is to avoid client-side installation as much as possible.

This means for you to share the server directory where reside your program files. The client-size installation in that case is only the creation of a single desktop icon at the client, which launches your program from the share.
