Lookup "autorun.ini"

Sure, but the whole idea is quite bad. All experienced users will avoid using such thing. Very unsafe.

could you please elaborate your solution

Without user interaction — would look impressive, but actually this is a pretty bad idea. See the comment above.

I agree with Sergey here, if I would see an application installing without asking my permission, I would not consider any software of this company in the future. I would assume that this company is not considering basic security concerns.

Exactly. Very good explanation. :-)
