Install application via package that includes Admin credentials

Hello. I have 14 users in different parts of the U.S. all running Vista
Business. I have configured their Administrator accounts with a password
which they do not know, so they run their machines as-is and cannot install
anything. Here's my problem - I need to install PowerPoint Viewer on all the
machines, but that would require me telling them the Administrator password.
Can I deliver the ppt viewer app to them in some kind of "package" in which I
could include the Administrator credentials? In other words, the "package"
would run the install and supply the Administrator credentials when
appropriate. Any thoughts, comments, or suggestions will be greatly
appreciated. Thank you.
