Hi,

as mentioned by Vera Noest, use filemon/regmon to find the necessary right.

In addition :
Can you start other applications ?
Do they want you to let the users be local administrators "only" ? or domain
admins ? or admins on the server ?
Sometimes admin rights are only needed for installation and then the link to
the file must bei moved to the desktop folder of the user.
If you can understand german language try the cīt from www.heise.de. They
had a good story :"Living without being admin" and hints how to install
software.

Off topic
On the other hand if all users become admins, the passwort/user
administration is easier :-)

HTH

I would NEVER allow users to get admin rights.
