Using Veritas Dicover, how can I get an MSI to distribute over a network without giving a user local admin or domain admin rights?

I know the proceedure but it won't work unless the user has their rights adjusted. I don't want to give anyone any rights about standard user rights. There has got to be a way.

If you're installing to XP clients, you might be able to use the "run as" feature. I'm not familiar with Veritas Discover, but other products allow you to run a service on the local machines which runs with local admin rights, and that service controls the installation.

Don't know about Veritas Discover, but assuming you have Active Directory, the MSI can be rolled out with "Elevated Privileges" using a Group Policy. Somewhere in the back of my mind is a utility. When it comesto mind, I'll post it.
