update my program using Active Directory

Hello,

i develop program with autoupdate feature. When program launches, it
connects to web server, download archive with new files, launches
updater program, which replaces executable.

This algorithm does not work if user does not have write access to
program files. They use Active Directory service for updating programs
on clients computers.

How can i adopt my program for updating using Active Directory service?
Can someone give me advice?
May be some links to instructions about it.

Thank you!

Howdie!

Note that this isn't an Active Directory problem. That problem is
everywhere the user has not admin rights on the box.

Well the process is pretty self-explaining. What you need to do is
deploy your package as an MSI and ship it. The AD team will then deploys
the MSI file via Group Policy/Software Installation.
