Install a VB App without Admin Priviledges?

Hopefully this is a simple question that most of you have run across, and therefore can help me easily or point me to an existing thread with the answer.

The company I work for does not give users admin priviledges to their desktops, which also means they do not have the right to modify their own Registry files. We use InstallShield 6.2 to create a Setup.exe file which is deployed through a company Intranet site.

How can we install our application, which has third party controls and our own DLLs, without modifying the registry, or modify the registry without having to have admin priviledges on the work station?

Has anyone run into this situation before?
