Flash Player update Installation w/o local admin privileges

Hi guys!

I'm a trainee at a small "electrical retailer".

We set up an Active Directory with a Windows 2011 Essentials last week.

There are several Win XP and 7 Clients. Users have no administrative rights, but they can install Windows Updates (group policy).

And here comes the problem: each time adobe flash player wants to download and install an update you have to promote with an administrator account.

Is there a possibility to grant special rights to the adobe installer? Is there an opportunity to integrate flash player updates into the group policy oder WSUS?

Thanks a lot!

Just an update to Pat's post.  A full install, such as 11.2 will actually require admin privileges.  However, subsequent updates using the new silent auto update mechanism will work fine on a standard user account without admin intervention.
