You might want to start by talking to your database vendor and find out why it's doing this. However, if this is not possible or is prohibitively expensive, you could get a list of the .dlls and where they are being copied to, then copy them over while logged on as a power user or administrator. You'll have to make sure that the .dlls get copied into every profile on the computer (if applicable) so the app doesn't work fine while the admin is logged on, then break as soon as the user logs on.

Good luck!

Thanks for the response but the situation is that the executable as part of its function updates the machines every time you enter it, so although that idea would work, every time you enter the app you would still get the error messages about not having the rights
