If you have a domain and Active Directory you can use domain policies to
push out any software packaged in a MSI (Microsoft Installer) package when a
user either logs on or off.

A solution would be to use a terminal server like Citrix and publish that
application to your users. Not a cheap solution if you're just looking to get
out of installing the app on all of the workstations.

If you're just looking for a way to minimize the time required to install
the app, there are better ways. You can script an unattended installation to
take place from a network share when a user logs on.
