Sage 100 Contractor currently requires users to update the clients once the server has been updated. This requires admin rights. This means that I have 1 of 3 options - give all users admin rights (really bad option), give them the password for admin (another really bad option) or have an admin put hands-on-keyboard to install the file (very bad option).

Sage 100 Contractor needs some best practices applied to the software deployment to allow users to update without needing admin rights. Additionally, there doesnt seem to be a way to run the installation with /silent mode and requires user interactions - this means any side-channel to deploy the software is also nearly impossible. Deploying this as an .MSI file should be very helpful with this, and it would be nice to have a server installation separate from the client installation in order to facilitate the Admin rights issue.

Please address accordingly.
