If that's for intranet, this could be done through login script (take a 
look
at Windows Scripting Host if it's for Windows).  Or even better, 
computer
administrator installs beforehand whatever software is necessary (in 
case
they've got a heterogenous network composing of Windows, Macintosh and
Linux).

For example, I'm making an intranet web application for companies and 
it
requires Java plugin.  I just tell their computer department staffs 
what to
install first (even though it's possible to install through web, but 
the
plug-in is only for Windows) and it's up to them what strategy they 
have to
adopt to accomplish this.  It's their job !

To Hovik, don't worry, I'm not hurt :)
