I recently came across WAPT (free opensource application) which installs/updates software (.msi,.exe, scripts...) without requiring admin privileges.
Installs are managed through a GUI console (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVcTut22t2c).
It works/feels very much like debian apt-get and RPM (the best ever IMHO!)
It's mostly convenient for making custom installs (e.g. disabling Java auto-updates or configuring a proxy for your browser). The install scripts are written in Python and quite easy to fathom.
Unfortunately it is yet to be translated from French, but the development team assured me that the international release is planned for next week.
I've been using it for a month and this is the first time all of my 110 machines are up-to-date !
