Administrative rights to install a msi package

Hello!
I hope you help me.
I have a COM+ application, and my clients use an application proxy.
To install the proxy, I export the component to a msi package.
The application client(exe) always detects a new version of msi package, and try to install it.
The problem is that the windowsXP clients don't have administrative rights to install it, and I get a security error.
I know that if you set AlwaysInstallElevated registry to 1, you can install a msi package without administrative rights, but it's not secure, because the user can install any msi package.
How can I resolve this problem?
Thank you, dennis.
