What I really need is to get around the 'admin'
permissions issue on installing the patch. I have written
a script that maps a drive and copies the patch exe file
to the client then runs it, BUT, it stops installing when
it realizes the user has no local admin rights.

How can I get around this?

Thx in advance.
