Perhaps you're unaware that there are software distribution tools that 
employ just this sort of mechanism?  I worked for a company where about 
6,000 desktops had applications delivered to them using this type of 
application management technology, in fact.

It does require testing and knowledge to do right.  It's far from 
impossible.

I feel I must repeat something I've said to you over and over and over 
and over and OVER again:  Just because YOU can't do something does NOT 
mean it is "impossible".
