What is stopping you from copying the installation files to a network volume, and having folks run the setup from those files? Or, is it a big issue to have this done automatically?

You can copy the DLL's manually, and your EXE will run..

As for lazy development...hey, you do what you gotta do...

Geez, I just realized you are a stone's throw from me....

Good luck..
