Ways to do what you want (on an all-Windows domain):

  • Make your application run without being installed. Put it on a network share. Trust the network share, so programs will launch without security warnings. Make a shortcut to it.

  • Make your application deploy as an MSI installer, deploy it by group policy. Update it, redeploy it, and have people reboot to pick up the new one.

  • install a server with Remote Desktop Services (and appropriate licenses), and install your program on it, and then publish it as a Remote App (it runs on the server, you see the window on your client).

  • Use a deployment tool such as ClickOnce

  • Use another app deployment solution to push it out to the desktops, maybe Microsoft App-V, more likely a third party. Altiris SVS used to be in this space, I don't know what's current at the moment.
