Here is a little help:
1) Place your setup directories & files on the network. Send out detailed (and tested) instructions for users to run the setup themselves. You'll probably have a few little problems, but most should work fine...
2) For future updates, use a "launcher" exe...a little program that checks to see if the exe on a user's hard drive is older than a server exe, and then automatically copies the newer one to the local drive if it is...your exe updates are virtually "seamless" this way...
