Caching files before an installation

$

I am looking for a way to configure up tasks/delivery method/whatever to get package installation a certain way. I am testing v9.5 SP2, but can't find a way to work this.

 

I want to be able to have a task, that when it kicks off on the client, is initially silent, the files associated with the task are downloaded\cached locally, and only then it automatically prompts the user to run the installation. So, not the pre-caching feature in Delivery Methods which doesn't run the installation, but something like it that then DOES run the installation. All in one step.

 

I have a user base that travels a LOT. And I don't want to prompt the user to close an application to install the something (say an Adobe Acrobat update)., then have to wait a long time until the package is then downloaded over a slow link before it actually installs. If you have several of these this can make the user wait a long time before the download and install are done before they can use their app again.

 

Any ideas how this can be done with the newest version?

 

Thanks!
