While you can’t run an EXE without some kind of prompt, you can use ClickOnce deployment to deploy an unmanaged application and run it (and keep it updated). You would need to create a manifest that demands full trust and the user would have to grant that trust the first time they run the application.
Also note that this will only work in Internet Explorer or on other browsers that have a plugin to enable ClickOnce deployment.
It’s worth noting that Google actually deploys Google Chrome using ClickOnce to IE users.
