Enomagic, I read from your post that you already have the client installed.
If this is not the case then like Berni says, the only supported way to
install the client on workgroup machines is manually.

You say that you are experiencing problems with installing updates (which is
what makes me assume you have the client installed already).... Is
everything else working OK i.e. is the client talking to the MP OK and
receiving settings, returning inventory etc? If this is all OK but you are
not getting software installed then check that you have configured a network
access account, this is required for the client to connect to a DP.

Regards

Stuart
