installing application minus local admin rights

Really you'll just have to wait until McAfee come up with a fix for what a MS Service Pack has broken in their software.

I know it's a real pain but unfortunately I've had to remove quite a lot of perfectly god hardware to keep some units working as the drivers are no longer supported or are broken by the MS updates this is quite common with Video Capture Cards which where launched as XP compatible but with the advent of SP2 now crash the system when ever you attempt to use them. As a workaround I've had to replace these cards with different makes until a fix is made available.

You might have to do the same and try a different product until a fix is made available by the makers of the preferred product.

Of course you could always tell them not to install the offending package until a fix is developed as really this is a programmers problem.

The MS service packs I refer to are the following:
Custom agent installation packages (FRAMEPKG.EXE) with embedded user credentials will not install successfully on computers using:

Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional with SP 4 or later
Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server with SP 4 or later
Microsoft Windows 2000 Server with SP4 or later
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Standard and Windows XP Professional

And Microsoft has a KB TID on this:

my guess is it fails because domain admin user has no local admin rights or it accesses a share that with a different login than used by the locally logged in user...
My idea is to check out the scripting section of technet.microsoft.com
should we assume you got AD -?
am pretty surpised mcaffee couldn't help you.

If you are an up-to-date McAfee corporate client I would be pressuring them to provide a service pack that fixes this MAJOR PROBLEM ! They know about the problem, then they SOULD PROVIDE A SOLUTION !
