install .dll file into windows folder with limited rights?

    Hi,

    I have to install an update to 250 laptops that are fairly severly locked down i.e. very limited rights. They are pretty much stand alone laptops i.e. no active directory etc.

    I need to install a .dll file into windows folder with limited rights?

    I know i can do it admin mode but that involves a lot more work as i want to just send out a self install cd that will do the lot under their restricted profile.

    Does anyone know any piece of software that can do this? or is there anything im missing in Windows XP?

    Any help appreciated

    Dwayne

    If they are on the network just push the DLL into the folder

    for /L %%a in (10,1,100) do xcopy DDL.dll %%a\admin$ /D /C /Y

    you could also deploy using a policy.

    as for a self install CD you could write a batch file with the local admin password embedded in it and then compile the batch file into an exe - not the road I'd go down

    could you put the dll into the program's folder ?

    Tks midnight

    Sadly the DLL has to go into the winnt folder or so our in house developers tell me anyway!!!:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    They use a group of batch files at the moment so i think i will have to go down this route of using the admin password and doing sometype of RUNAS in the batch file:eek: :eek:

    If anyone has done this i would welcome their feedback

    Tks

    only consider the password in the batch file as a last resort and you can confirm it will be encrypted by being compiled and you plan to change it shortly afterwards - otherwise someone will figure it out.

    even if they only dial in you could still push the DLL to thier machine by continious looping of the push file ?
