	So if I understand you corrrectly, the admin installs the app and  
any requirements, and the users just use it. No updates are ever  
installed by users; admins first test new versions, and only when  
they are satisfied that an update is warranted do they install it for  
users. If that's what you're describing, then Dabo would be handled  
the exact same way. Admins could use Web Update to get the latest and  
greatest Dabo, and only after testing it would they then update the  
users' machines.
