delegate adminpak.msi/privallages

I'm trying to delegate control of users to some members of our staff (they are non-administrators). I am using GPO to deploy the adminpak.msi (from Windows 2000 Server CD) to them when they log on to a station.

I have delegated control of the relevent objects (in Active Directory Users & Computers) - allowing these users to control a specific object in the directory.

However - when I log as one of these delegated users, and attempt to run the adminpak.msi, it fails, issuing the warning that the "user has insuficient privallages" to install the MSI package.

I thought the whole point of deploying an MSI was that it allowed installation of software to a station without the need for an administrator to log in?

I want to keep the delegated users as non-administrators but allow them access to install the adminpak.msi at logon via GPO.

I have seen this error with installing a Macromedia Flash package.

How can I elevate the privallages for these MSI packages to allow it to complete the install without making them administrators?

Thanks.
