Hello all,

I am trying to create a cd that has a self installing executable for my
remote users. However these users do not have admin rights to their
machines and thus the program will not install on their machines. Does
anyone know of a way to allow the executable to install? I need something
to make Windows 2000 think they are an administrator just for the install of
the program and then return them back to their regular user rights? I do
not want to make them all administrators on their machines and since they
are never near the office I can not install it myself. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

download arj or zip or the like.
make the program a self extractor instead.
self extract the program into a folder.

if you resisted the temptation to fool with the registry,
or other complicated stuff in your program, your exe will
work fine. If you insist on using an install shield, you
have to deal with the issue.
