hi all! (this being my first post to the list) 

i'll cut to the chase,
what is the best way to achieve the following functionality: 

 - initial install should be by administrator. (as we need to create 
directories/keys all users should have access to). 

 - the product is updated frequently, but only a few files need changing 
(mainly the main executable and related help files). 

 - non-administrators should be able to install these upgrades. 

the entire package is simple (a thick-client): a few files need to go into 
program files - all users share them, BUT
1 - the software needs to work with with both per-user and per-machine 
registry keys,
2 - it needs to uses a cache directory, also shared by all users, the path 
to which is a per-machine setting that should be configurable by any user...
you get the idea 

oh yeah, it would be nice if the same package could handle upgrades and 
installs to virgin boxes... 

again the question: what is the best way to go about this? 

any input is greatly appriciated! 

ps: i have been reading up on the subject, but had a hard time digesting the 
info i could find... also didn't find any template quite matching my 
problem, which is why i'm now humbly turning to this List :-)
