As subject - is there any way of doing this using a scripts, group policy or software?

Basically we have a logon script that installs some software automatically if it's not already on the system. However it doesn't work if the user logging on doesn't have admin rights, as obviously they are not allowed install software.

Not sure I really want to use the 'run as' command in a script and there will be no password mask. I don't think there's an easy way of doing it, but then I don't know everything! Any ideas?

If not, how about a way of telling the logon script to skip if the user does not have admin rights? Ta!
 
Is it an MSI ?

As in group policy you can deploy software and if the user doesn't have enough rights, it automatically elevates it, installed and then puts the user back to normal rights.

I've done it a few times to deploy apps, comes in handy.
